Using Turning Gear - Mitsubishi S16R-Y1PTA Operation & Maintenance Manual

Using turning gear

Before starting the engine, make sure that the turning gear is pulled out in 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. Using a socket wrench and a ratchet handle, turn
the shaft.
4. After turning, pull out the shaft, insert the plate in
the shaft groove, and tighten the bolts.
Make sure the plate is securely installed in the shaft
groove.
