No, she says it has one, in the second part of the video where the engine drawings get shown. Then she goes on to explain how to start one without the electric starter, by cranking the flywheel to get it to move and then coupling it to the engine. Which is apparently trickier than it sounds like.
HI Jakko thanks for that as i cant hear what she sayin so i put on the subs an is this the girl called abbey who stared in the tv series primevil ? as it looks like her

Hell of a gear reduction. Have seen some of her stuff before. She's pretty game.

She’s a computer gamer who got interested in AFVs by playing World of Tanks, to the best of my (scarce) knowledge.
We used to do this same procedure when starting big cement mixtures on sites. Wind the crank handle, get the thing spinning, then throw a lever to engage the engine.
One of three things always happened.
A- The operator breaks his wrist when the diesel engine backfires. causing the crank handle to spin backwards.
B- The mixer starts first time.
C- The mixer starts, but the handle sticks to the flywheel. and flies around at a hell of a rate, causing those close by to take cover until the starting handle flies off. This happened at a new commercial garage where I was making the concrete shuttering. It flew off and buried itself into the side of a brand new, sign written Luton van. Our quick thinking foreman ran to it and removed the handle from the aluminium side panel of the van. As part of the subsequent damage investigation, the insurance man could be seen measuring the damage from the ground and walking around the place trying to find a protrusion that matched his measurements. He never came near the mixer, or more importantly, the handle!
Sorry for the slight diversion from topic.
OH thanks Jakko for your reply

Shes on a few of the Cheiftains tank tours on Youtube

I’m thinking these are why they make sure to pull the starter handle out first in the video
99% of the time it behaved and come out of its own accord. One got complacent. Then the remaining 1% kicked in - Hit the deck!

Let me add this one here as well:
