EKB2, BRP don’t “warn” about doing this, they state in their workshop manual, DO NOT do this. That’s enough for me to think - ok, I don’t want them to have an issue with warranty (or other) claims, so I won’t do this. You do you however.

As K80 and Mike say, a block of wood across the whole mechanism is different, but lifting under that single point is not something I would do, just in case
