Break-in of the diesel engine
It is very important for new engine or an engine just after overhaul to have a 50-hour
break-in. This break-in period can improve performance of friction pair and is essential to
ensure the operating dependability and lifespan of diesel engine.
If conditions permit,
run the engine at the speed of 1500r/min and under 25%, 50% and 75% full load, each
load an hour.
Special attentions during break-in period:
(1)
Do not accelerate abruptly when the diesel engine just starts.
(2)
Before running engine, keep the engines idling with no load and at low to medium
speed for at least 5 minutes.
