Rotate the camshaft by turning the central nut in an
anti-clockwise direction to bring piston N° 1 of the
engine to the Top Dead Centre position (T.D.C.) when
the piston is at its uppermost part of the compression
stroke.

sion stamped on tooth
A of the timing wheel is in line

wheel is in this position.
