Break-in....yes ! Thanks ! could not remember at the time I wrote my message

This recommendation was not written in any operating manual. I read something about that on a german forum and then asked directly to Leimbach about this process.
Doing that, I have been able to operate [intensively ] a Leimbach pump at 18 bars (260 psi) for ten years before it breaks.

Using a 7.2 V battery for a while may produce the same effect.........
