Operation instructions

Running-in

A gradual running-in of a new engine is not necessary. Prolonged operation at light loads during the early life
of the engine can cause lubricating oil to enter the exhaust system. Maximum load can be applied to a new
engine as soon as the engine is put into service and the coolant temperature has reached a minimum of 60 C
O
(140 F).
O
Cautions:
• The engine will benefit if the load is applied as soon as possible after the engine is put into service.
• Do not operate the engine at high speeds without a load.
• Do not overload the engine.
