Engine Break-In—CAT, Cummins, DDE S60, M-B

Caterpillar

Every Caterpillar engine must pass a full-load operation test on a dynamometer before shipment, eliminating the need for a break-in period. Only an initial operational check is necessary.

Cummins

Cummins engines are run on a dynamometer before being shipped from the factory. They do not require a break-in period.

DDE S60

Detroit Diesel engines can be put to work upon delivery without having to follow a formal break-in schedule. The engine has been "run-in" on a factory dynamometer during performance and quality assurance tests prior to shipment.

Mercedes-Benz

Every Mercedes-Benz engine is tested on a dynamometer before shipment. Therefore, no break-in period is necessary for the MBE4000 engine. Before running the engine for the first time, follow the instructions in Chapter 2 of the MBE4000 Engine Operator's Manual .
