Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 170694319
Event: 05/27/1992
Employee killed when crushed between crawlers

Employee #1 attempted to start an AC9 crawler by repeatedly cranking over the engine. As a result, the post on the battery was burned off. Employee #1 and a coworker used a chain and a second crawler to pull-start the crawler. He then dismounted the crawler, leaving the engine running, the transmission in gear, the hand clutch lever disengaged, and the parking brake not set. While Employee #1 was removing the chain from the two crawlers, the vibration from the engine's high idle vibrated the clutch lever into an engaged position. The crawler moved forward, crushing Employee #1 between the crawler and the tow crawler and attached equipment. Employee #1 was killed.
