T 314 - adjusting valves on Onan 5500

[RSD]

Wanted to adjust the valves on my Onan 5500, in my Torque T-314 today. The gas tank for the generator is under the gen set, so getting to the crankshaft bolt to turn the crankshaft is not possible. Do I have to remove the gas tank to adjust the valves? Can I turn the motor any other way, except for the starter? Thanks for the help.

According to this You Tube video (at about the 9 minute mark) there is an access panel underneath on the bottom plate of the generator where you can get a socket on the crank gear.
