4.3. Running In z It is recommended that new or overhauled engines should not be operated at a load higher than about 75 % maximum load during the first few hours of operation. Initial run-in should be at varying speeds. After this initial run-in, the engine should be brought up to fuel output gradually. 4.4. During Operation Do not overload the engine. Do not exceed the maximum permissible engine tilt. If faults occur, find their cause immediately and have them eliminated in order to prevent more serious damage! During operation the oil pressure in the engine lubrication system must be monitored.
