Investigation Summary
Employee #1, a laborer, was connecting a rototiller attachment to a tractor. The engine was running but the power-take-off (PTO) was not energized. He connected the PTO to the rototiller and was connecting one of the two hydraulic stabilizing arms when somehow the PTO was suddenly energized. This caused the rototiller blades to revolve and the rototiller itself to swing sideways toward him. One of the blades struck his left lower leg, causing severe lacerations. Employee #1 was hospitalized at UCI Medical Center.
