B737NG fuel loading limitation

Hi!

One of the limitations stated in FCOM1 is "Main tanks 1 and 2 must be full if center tank contains more than 453 kgs."

I often see fuellers switching on all three fuel switches from the beginning thus getting 3-4 tonnes in the center tank before the main tanks are full. Is this a problem?

Just to be clear, I´m not talking about when/how to operate the center fuel pumps, this is a structural and W/B issue (I think...)

/L.
