## Narrative

While servicing a tire on the left front of a WA600, the technician placed a hydraulic ram between the axle suspension assembly of the WA600 and the inside flange of the wheel.  When the bead of the tire came loose from the force of the ram pushing on the flange, the ram slipped and hit the technician in the face.
