HATZ engine

[Bigonedodge]

Can someone confirm which way a Hatz E673 RHK diesel engine should crank when looking at the starting handle ie. Opposite the flywheel
Thank you

Not sure what the "RHK" means or if it's related to the direction of rotation but there is a video on Youtube of the same engine but a "LHK" and the handle spins clockwise.

When in doubt, put your hand over the exhaust and give it a spin by hand. When spinning in the correct direction, you should feel air blowing out of the exhaust. If it's sucking air from the exhaust, it's the wrong direction.
