An employee and a coworker opened the hood of a dump truck to diagnose why the fan of the radiator was not engaging. The injured employee was on the passenger side while the coworker was on the driver side. The coworker entered the cab and started the engine. The injured employee contacted the radiator's belt and pulley at that moment, which amputated the end joint of the employee's right index finger.
