Warning! Have a fire extinguisher ready before starting the engine for the first time.
1. After completing the engine assembly, double check the oil and coolant levels.
2. With the spark plugs turned out and the ignition system and fuel pump turned off, turn the crankshaft until the oil pressure is registered by the sensor or until the oil pressure warning lamp goes out.
3. Screw in the candles, put on the tips of the high-voltage wires and turn on the ignition system and the fuel pump.
4. Start the engine. The engine should start immediately, after a short period of time necessary for the pressure in the fuel system to build up.
5. After starting, warm up the engine to operating temperature. As the engine warms up, watch closely for oil or coolant leaks.
6. Stop the engine and check the oil and coolant levels.
7. Drive in a light-traffic area, accelerate the vehicle from 50 km/h to 90 km/h, then release the throttle pedal to decelerate the vehicle to a speed of 50 km/h. Repeat the cycle 10-12 times. In this case, the piston rings are worn to the cylinder walls. Check the oil and coolant levels again.
8. Drive 900 km without putting too much stress on your engine (drive at low speed), by periodically checking the oil level. During the break-in period, increased oil consumption is possible.
9. After a run of 900–1100 km, change the oil and oil filter.
10. For the next few hundred kilometers, drive the vehicle normally, avoiding too much or too little load.
11. After 3600 km of run, change the oil and oil filter again, after which the engine is considered to have been run-in.
