Be sure its out of gear, turn gas on, set throttle just opened a tad bit, set choke as needed, turn key on. Now it is time to crank. Pretend there is a glass wall inbetween you and the hand crank. The only part of your body that should go through the glass wall is your hand/arm you are cranking with. This will keep your head, legs, other arm, and body out of the rotation of the crank if there would happen to be a kick back. Keep your thumb on the same side of crank handle as your fingeres when you grab onto it. Never crank the engine in a downward motion. Always crank the engine in an upward motion, a half of rotation at a time. You will have to disengage the hand crank at the top of rotation, and free travel it back to the bottom and re-engage it again at the bottom of rotation for another pull. This allows you to avoid cranking in a downward motion. Another thing is, figure out where the tractor fires at. When hand cranking, you want the engine to be in a descent rolling motion at this point. On my H, it fires just a tad bit past 12 O'Clock. One more thing, a distributor will more likely cause more kick backs than a magnito. Not sure which you have, but I know I have to be careful with mine because of the distributor. Seems like it kick's quit abit.
