Default RE: break-in procedure

the manual (breaking-in portion)
1.install the engine with the propeller intended for your model. Open the needle valve to the advised starting setting (which is 2 complete turns from closed) and start the engine. if the engine.... and the next sentence. run the engine FOR 1 MINUTE WITH THROTTLE FULLY OPEN, but with needle valve adjusted for rich slow four-cycle operation.
2.Close the needle valve until the engine speeds up to 2cycle operation and allow it to run for 10 seconds then reopen the needle valve to bring back 4cycle operation and run it for 10 seconds. repeat this procedure until tank is empty....

am i understading this correct? run the engine with THROTTLE FULLY OPEN FOR 1 MINUTE in rich setting right after starting???

thanks for the replies and tips in advance...
