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.
• Even when no leaks to the high-pressure fuel system can be detected, workshop personnel should
avoid the immediate danger area and wear suitable protective clothing (such as protective goggles)
when carrying out checks to the running engine and during the first test run.
• Smoking is forbidden while carrying out work to the fuel system.
• Do not work in the proximity of sparks or naked flames.
• Never disconnect an injector while the engine is running.
