Using Turning Gear

Before starting the engine, return (pull out) the turning gear to the original position. Starting the engine with the
turning gear pushed in not only damages the ring gear but also may result in personal injury.
1 Loosen the two bolts, and remove the plate from the
shaft groove.
2 Push in the shaft fully to engage it with the ring gear.
3 Turn the shaft using a socket wrench and a ratchet
handle.
4 After turning, pull out the shaft, insert the plate in the
shaft groove, and tighten the bolts.
Make sure the plate is securely inserted in the shaft
groove.
