Unless I missed it, I think there should be a note to remind people to drain the gas tank before tipping the unit on its side. It may be common sense for a lot of people familiar with small engines, but not everyone (me) may think or know to do this. I just assumed that it would be fine to tip on its side without modification, and had to do some minor repair work after finding out that that was not the case. The guide was otherwise great for this repair and it was successful!
