A diesel mechanic died when he was crushed between the left front tire and the cab of a fire truck. The victim was attaching gauges and connections from a diagnostic monitor machine to the truck engine when the incident occurred. The CA/FACE investigator determined that, in order to prevent future occurrences: (1) Employers should ensure that diesel mechanics always stand clear of lowering cabs. (2) Truck manufacturers should design a control box 'dead man' switch to use when lowering cabs.
