The same as you do on ANY motor.

Pull the #1 spark plug. Put your finger over the hole. Turn the crank clockwise until you fell air pressure build up, NOT SUCKING. Take your finger off, put something like a pencil or long screwdriver in the hole, bring the piston up as far as it will go, right before it starts to go down. This is TDC. Verify your timing mark on your crank pulley matches 0 degrees on the timing marks on the engine.
