Unless you are hand swinging I wouldbnt be rotating the prop, other than a few degress to eg attach the pull bar to the nose wheel. Too many people have no respect or understand how to handle the prop, therefore I always tell them to leave it alone! I can't see it ever firing by rotating it counter-clockwise due to the timing set-up but you could easily destroy the suction pump.
