Default Haven't turned AC on in 6 years, should I have it checked out first?

always heard to run without load to get the bearings relubed.

based on that, I'd run a bit, stop, let sit long time, repeat and
repeat until comfortable with it running constantly

I did this on an expensive piece of gear that had set 10 years, and so
far still working perfectly with use every week.

But that came from YEARS ago. Bearings are probably better now
