    Parking brake on 13 C, 13 AWD and 15 C Clutch pedal on 11 and 11 C PRESENTATION On the Rider 13 C, Rider 13 AWD and Rider 15 C the power transmission from the engine is handled by a hydrostatic gearbox which enables stepless variation of the speed.
  • Page 14: Clutch Pedal Rider 11, 11 C

    PRESENTATION RIDER 11, 11 C Throttle and Choke lever The engine speed is adjusted with the throttle control, and thereby also the rotation speed of the blades. The control is also used to activate the choke function. When the choke is used the engine receives a richer mixture of fuel and air, which simplifies cold start.
