Default Engine mixture guidelines

The initial lean should be very quick. It's called the "Big Pull." Fine tune as slow as you need to. You need to avoid the red box, that's why you lean quickly.

I've only heard of a red fox, not a red box. What is that?

In general, I lean to a bit richer than I ought to be, and then after it
stabilizes, I lean from there. But if you overshoot, that's not good.
