Caution: Do not crank the engine for more than 30
seconds. Excessive heat will damage the starting
motor.
Crank the engine and observe the oil pressure when the
engine starts. If the engine fails to start within 30
seconds, allow the starting motor to cool for 2 minutes
before cranking the engine again.
Caution: If the lubricating oil pressure is not within
specifications, shut off the engine immediately.
Either excessively low or excessively high oil
pressure will cause engine damage.
Engine oil pressure must be between 69 kPa and 310
kPa [10 psi and 45 psi] at 700 RPM.
Correct the problem if the oil pressure is not within
specifications.
Caution: Do not operate the engine at idle speed
longer than specified during engine run-in.
Excessive carbon formation will cause damage to
the engine.
Operate the engine at approximately 700 RPM for 3 to 5
minutes.
Listen for unusual noises; watch for coolant, fuel, and
lubricating oil leaks; and check for correct engine
operation in general.
NOTE: Repair all leaks or component problems before
continuing the engine run-in.
