Narrative

The pump is moved with a remote but sometimes gets stuck and the smooth metal wheels spin in place and the pump is ""stuck"" in place. The historical EE response has been to use a crow bar to lift and push the pump forward. While moving using the crow bar, the EE twisted awkwardly and then pain started in the lower groin area
