UNLOADING ASH, PUT BED DOWN, SEEN SOME OF THE ASH HUNG IN BED. MOVED TRUCK, RAISED BED AGAIN, TRUCK TURNED OVER.
EE HAD BEEN LOADED WITH MUD BY THE 1800 HITACHI SHOVEL. HE WAS STARTING OUT THE RAMP WHEN THE MUD TRANSFERRED TO THE BACK OF THE BED. THIS CAUSED THE 777 TO RAISE IN THE FRONT. WHEN THE TRUCK CAME DOWN, THE SUDDEN STOP CAUSED HIS HEAD TO WHIP FORWARD & STRIKE THE STEERING WHEEL (10 SUTURES REQUIRED).
THE EE STARTED UP THE SPOIL RAMP IN #1969 TRUCK. WHEN HE WAS APPROX. 3/4 OF THE WAY OUT OF THE PIT THE ENGINE STALLED. WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THE TRUCK LOST ITS STEERING CAPABILITIES AND THE RETA RDER ALSO BECAME INOPERABLE THE TRUCK IS EQUIPPED WITH EMERGENCY STEERING. AS THE TRUCK DESCENDED BACKWARD DOWN THE RAMP, THE OPERATOR CALLED ON THE RADIO TO STAY OUT FROM BEHIND HIS TRUCK. T
