Investigation Summary
On July 6, 2005, Employee #1 was working alone at a maintenance barn in a citrus grove. He was repairing the hydraulic line on a Deere 624H wheel loader. The arm and attachment were raised while work was being done, instead of being lowered to the ground to release pressure in the hydraulic lines. There was no support under the arm, such as blocking, to prevent the arm from dropping. The arm dropped when the hydraulic fluid escaped and the employee was found pinned under the arm. Employee #1 was killed.
