Troy-Bilt Storm 8526 - Manual (Page 10)

Snow thrower controls and features are described below and
illustrated in Fig. 4-1.
NOTE: For detailed information on all engine controls, refer to
the separate Tecumseh Engine Operator’s Manual.
Shift Lever
The shift lever is located in the right side of the
handle panel and is used to determine ground
speed and direction of travel.
Forward
There are six forward (F) speeds. Position one (1) is
the slowest and position six (6) is the fastest.
Reverse
There are two reverse (R) speeds. One (1) is the
slower and two (2) is the faster.
Choke Control
The choke control is found on the rear of the engine and is
activated by rotating the knob clockwise. Activating the choke
control closes the choke plate on the carburetor and aids in
starting the engine.
Ignition Key
The ignition key is a safety devise. It must be fully inserted in
order for the engine to start. Remove the ignition key when the
snow thrower is not in use.
Note: Do not turn the ignition key in an attempt to start the
engine. Doing so may cause it to break.
