Tipping the Machine
If you need to work on the underside of the machine, you
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).

1.
Raise the tines, stop the machine, stop the engine, and
disconnect the spark-plug wire.
2.
Raise the front of the machine to gain access to the
chain, and block it in place; refer to Tipping the
Machine (page 16).
CAUTION
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
