Easier to turn the crank by hand for the first shunt, to get it rolling.

Easier to turn the crank by hand... and just keep going by hand.

I'm sure I'll get the hang of the treadle but so far I lack the coordination.

You rest your foot (without pressure) on an adequately tensioned treadle foot, shunt the crank with a sharp turn to start, and allow the momentum to start your foot turning it in the right direction.

Ymmv, I learned on these.
