can tip it back and raise the front. Do not tip the machine
forward, or you will foul the air cleaner with gasoline. Secure
the machine with a jack stand before working under it (Figure
22).

If you do not securely block up the front of the
machine, the machine could fall on you during
service, injuring you.
Ensure that you place a jack stand or block
under the front of the machine to hold it up
securely.
Important: Do not raise the rear of the machine.
Raising the rear of the machine will cause the
engine to flood and the air cleaner to be fouled
with gasoline.
