6. When the engine has started, it takes a while to send lubricating
oil to all bearings and shafts, and between pistons and liners. Wait
for the oil pressure gauge to settle at a normal level, then bring
engine speed up gradually. Increase speed as it warms up. Check
all gauges during warm-up.
7. During warm-up, apply load gradually until the oil temperature
reaches 60°C (140°F). To move a loaded vehicle, the minimum
coolant temperature must be approximately 50°C (120°F).
Engine Break-In
Engines are run on dynamometers before being shipped from the
manufacturer. In most applications, the engine can be put to work
immediately, but the operator should be extra observant of the
operating conditions shown on the gauges during the initial 100 hours
or 5,000 km (3,000 miles).
A more frequent check of the engine compartment for fluid leaks, fluid
levels and fastener tightness is also recommended during the initial
period.
