The trick is to pull back on the tilter handle to dig the feet in *before*
you tip the front casters of the piano off the floor. Maintain back pressure
on the tilter handle as the piano tilts back until it makes contact with the
tilter. By then, you're home free. 20 years+ and haven't dropped one yet... yet.
