Default Starter box spin direction?

Hello,
I am first off trying to determine which way the flywheel should spin. I am not sure if my starter box is spinning the correct direction. If it is not, how do I change the direction of the wheel rotation in the starter box?
Here is the manual

To work out if it's turning the right way mount your car/buggy/truggy on the box and engage the starter motor (you don't need the starter to make contact with the flywheel) it should be easy enough to figure out which way it needs to turn to spin the flywheel clockwise (when viewed from crankcase).

If it's not spinning the correct way just reverse the polarity to the motor.

Yep change polarity if it turns the wrong way and eases way to do that is swap the wires connections to the battery.

Thank you for the advice. The wheel is now turning in the correct direction.
