Body safety prop
To set the body safety prop:
1. Make sure that there is enough clearance above the body to raise it safely.
2. Start the engine.
3. Raise the body until the safety prop is free to tilt under it.
Danger!
Always set the body safety prop when performing maintenance underneath a raised
body. Failure to do so may result in severe injury, or even death.
