1. A The turning gear is used to rotate the turbines, gearing, and shaft periodically when the main engines are secured only. The turning gear is never used to prevent turbine rotor distortion.
2. B The turning gear is used to prevent turbine rotor distortion while warming through only. The turning gear is never used while cooling since distortion is not an issue when cooling.
3. C The turning gear is used to prevent turbine rotor distortion while warming-through or while cooling, since distortion is an issue when warming-through or cooling.
4. D The turning gear is used to prevent turbine rotor distortion while cooling only. The turning gear is never used while warming-through since rotor distortion is not an issue when warming-through.
