Hand cranking an engine is an old method used primarily on vintage cars before electric starters became the norm. To safely hand crank an engine, start by making sure the car is in neutral and the ignition switch is off. Position the hand crank into the crankshaft socket, typically located at the front of the engine. Then, turn the ignition switch on. Firmly grasp the crank handle with one hand, and use a smooth, continuous motion to turn the crank in the direction specified by the vehicle manufacturer (usually clockwise). It's vital to keep your thumb alongside your fingers, not wrapped around the crank, to prevent injury if the crank kicks back. Once the engine starts, immediately remove the crank to avoid injury. Note: This method is rarely applicable to modern vehicles and can be dangerous if not done correctly. Always consult the vehicle's manual or an expert if unsure.
