Before a drive with the new tractor get to know how to shift gears and try individual positions

In case that the glowing signal lamp only starts flashing instead of glowing, there is a failure in
the glowing system (chapter Indication of glowing system failures). The indicated failure should be
removed in a specialized service centre.
