Can I start up an LG linear compressor fridge without doing the Jeg update to test new compressor runs for a few mins?

I have the new compressor from LG and have it installed, changed the dryer filter. I dont have a Jeg but can rent one via ebay purchase/ refund process. Am wondering if I can power up the fridge and let the compressor cycle for a few mins and add some freon to affirm I am ready to incur the Jeg rental cost and wait time?

The jig instructions say no. The instructions say to remove the failed compressor then use the jig. Do not charge the unit or plug in the refrigerator before using the jig, doing so could damage the compressor by running it out of sync.
