Abstract: Employee #1, the operator of a Caterpillar D7F bulldozer, was clearing a site for a fishing pond. The fuel adjustment lever needed repair, so he stopped the dozer and left it running and in reverse gear. Employee #1 then climbed down onto the track directly in front of the fuel injector. Somehow he struck the throttle lever and the dozer began to move backward. Employee #1 tried to climb back into the driver's seat to stop the vehicle, but he became trapped between the moving track and the fender and was killed. The bulldozer came to a stop when it became caught on something at the bottom of the hill.
