The employee removed the track drive motor assembly from a bulldozer and placed it on a workbench to perform a complete cleanout procedure on the hydraulic assembly. The employee was operating a pneumatic impact driver with the right hand to remove a bolt while supporting/holding a hydraulic servo with the left hand.
