After removing the spark plugs, you can safely crank the engine using the starter.

While true, I'd recommend turning it over my hand first. Unless you want liquids shooting out the spark plug holes and spraying onto stuff you probably don't want it on

And you can inspect the spark plugs at the same time for oil etc.
