Do not tighten – Screw the adaptor into the spark plug hole and tighten to prevent movement in the plug – Position the dial face toward the PTO. Move the gauge down until the needle just begins • Locate the piston TDC position as follows: – Slowly rotate the drive pulley back and forth across TDC while observing the needle. – Rotate the dial face so that «0» is in line with the needle when it stops moving. – Again, slowly rotate the drive pulley back and forth across TDC and adjust the dial face to – «0» now indicates exact TDC. • Rotate the drive pulley clockwise, one-quarter turn then carefully rotate it counterclockwise • Twist a wire as shown and use it as a pointer. Install the wire on upper starter bolt. mmr2004-Rev 251 |
