break-in
Pls help me with the term above. This is found in the title 'hoist rope break-in procedure' and in the following context:
"Have an operator hoist the bucket three times empty, three times with a half a bucket load and three times with a full bucket load to help seat, stretch and break in the new cables."
I suspect that 'break-in' here means 'ngabatek' in sundanese, but I don't know how to say it in bahasa. Or perhaps 'NOT'.
TIA

[prosedur] pembiasaan
Dari kamus Oxford:
break something in
wear something, typically a pair of new shoes, until it becomes supple and comfortable.
Jadi, pakai hingga terbiasa. Fokusnya adalah pada pemakai/manusia, bukan pada barang atau alatnya.
Something went wrong...
