Investigation Summary
Several bowling balls had jammed on the ball return. This caused the motor to overheat and stop and the belt to dislodge. Employee #1, a maintenance mechanic, retrieved the jammed balls, but did not deenergize the motor prior to his repositioning of the belt. Employee #1 started to reposition the V-belt, but as he was positioning the final loop on the belt, the motor, belt and wheels moved, pulling his hand into the in-running nip-point of the upper pulley wheel. Employee suffered the amputation of his left ring finger as it was caught in an in-running nip- point between a v-belt and a pulley wheel of the ball lift assembly. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
