Oh, fancy... You had electric start on yours. I had to crank the two we used.
I did however learn the correct way to crank. Most everyone I knew/know and even TV, movies and Youtube videos do it wrong.
You place one open hand under the other palms up and thumbs facing the engine. Find the compression spot coming from the bottom up and with one clean pull bring the crank up to top center. repeat as needed.
NEVER, close your thumbs around the crank handle.
Never try to start by pushing the crank down.
Never stand so close that you might be hit by the handle.
