EE was operating the primary crusher and noticed a large steel wheel coming through the feeder. He stopped and locked out the crusher, put on a harness and climbed into the feeder. While removing the steel wheel, he felt what he described as an electrical shock from the lower back to the base of his neck. He restarted the crusher and informed his supervisor of the injury.
