Investigation Summary
On July 8, 2008, a mechanic was repairing a front-end loader. The mechanic, after washing out the battery compartment with a water hose, replaced the battery and the alternator cable. While backing up the loader, the mechanic struck a large pad-mounted transformer and adjacent step-down transformer, causing damage to both transformers. When he attempted to repair the pad-mounted transformer, he was electrocuted.
