REPLENISHING OIL
You will note that the capacity of your 7 HP
engine is about 1/2 pint more than one quart of
tnotor oil when filling a new engine or a short
block for an engine repair. It is assumed that
some dirty oil will likely cling to the sidewalls of
the engine crankcase, especially if the engine is
drained while it is cold. It should take about one
quart to bring the new oil up to proper level.
Please Note: It is recommended that you run the
engine for 10 or 15 minutestoheattheoil up be-
fore draining it. This will minimize the amount
left in the engine.
Large masses of dirt and grime often come
out with the last few ounces of oil, so drain the
engine completely by tilting the engine towards
the drain hole (put a thick board or brick under
one Wheel).
THROTTLE CABLE
The throttle cable on a 7 HP Troy-8i1t Tiller
runs down the right handlebar and dips down
outside of the yoke (which raises the engine to
tighten the belts) and across to the governor
tontrol disc. A small metal clamp and a screw
holds the throttle casing in position. See Photo
4/27 for the routing of the cable and the next
photo for close up details.
HOOKUP
Once the throttle wire is run through the
clamp and i'nstalled in the closest, most access-
ible hole in the governor control disc, then you
can secure the cable with the screw as shown in
Photo 4/28. Leave a little bit of cable projecting
beyond the clamp so it will hold properly.

In general you should use #30 motor oil while
tilling in warm weather, and be sure to use oil
that has a. service classification of SE, which we
recommend for use on all engines for Troy-8i1t
Tillers. Note that in colder weather multi-
viscosity oil is recommended in the above table.
Use about one quart of oil for a refill, but let
your dipstick be your final guide as to when you
have reached the FULL mark on the dipstick.
