check that hand wheel rotates
verifique se o volante gira


Explanation:
hand wheel pode ser a parte móvel de registros hidráulicos ou válvulas, ou ainda o volante d e máquinas de costura.

Se for um registro hidráulico ou válvula, o nome também é volante.

Dependendo do contexto pode ser "verifique se o volante gira" ou "certifique-se de que o volante esteja girando", ou ainda "note que o volante gira".
