The Challenger Tractor Manual Preface
The work described in the workshop manual includes replacing parts, fuel and lubricants. These renewed parts/fuel/lubricants must be stored, transported and disposed of in accordance with regulations.
Working on the Engine
Never let the engine run in enclosed spaces with no exhaust gas suction system.
• Cleaning, maintenance and repair work may only be carried out once the engine is switched off and
secured to prevent it starting.
• Injection pipes and high-pressures lines must not be deformed.
• Any damaged injection pipe or high-pressure line must be replaced.
• Do not loosen any injection pipes for high-pressure fuel lines while the engine is running.
• Before carrying out checks to the running engine, always perform a visual check of all high-pressure components. Suitable protective clothing (e.g. protective goggles) should be worn while doing this. Leaks indicate potential sources of danger for workshop personnel.
• In the event of leaks to the high-pressure fuel system, always remain out of range of any possible fuel
spray to avoid serious injury.
