load on it for the first several hours of running.
During the first 20 hours, the various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves to the
correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full throttle oper-
ation or any condition which might result in ex-
cessive engine heating must be avoided.
However, momentary (2–3 seconds maxi-
mum) full throttle operation under load does
not harm the engine.
