ADDING MOTOR OIL TO THE ENGINE
Your
tiller's engine has
different
lubrication
requirements than the transmission,
as
des-
cribed in the previous
step, Each engine on a
Horse Model
Troy-Bilt
has a
dipstick
marked
with
"Full"
and
"Add
Oil"
levels. Please
consult
the
following
paragraphs
for
specific
instruc-
tions
about
oil
for
each make engine.
Use a funnel, as shown in Photo 1/10,
to
pour
a
good
quality
#30, SE classification
motor
oil
into
the oil
filler
hole
of
the
engine-that
is
the
hole from
which
the
dipstick
was removed.
Use #30
weight
SE rated
motor
oil in
the
warm
summer
weatherwhen tilling.
If
#30 is
not
avail-
able, 10W-30,
or
10W-40
motor
oil
is
accept-
'able,
but
make sure you
find
SE
on
the
top
of
the can,
or
on
the
label. For
colder
tempera-
tures,
consult
your
engine pamphlet
which
you
received
with
the tiller.
Any
service station
of
a national petroleum
company
should have
SE
classification
oil
for
your
engine. Look
for
SE on the
top
of
the can
or
on the label. Each engine uses
different
oil
capacities, so please see
their
instructions
and
use the
dipstick
as
your
gUide.
.-
(Photo 1/10) It's a
good
idea to use a funnel
when
pouring
oil
into
engine.
SE
classified oil protects
your
engine best
against high operating temperatures. SE oil
does have detergents and
other
additives in
it
for
protection
of
your
engine. So,
don't
use
non-
detergent oil!
•
It
is
important
to
note
that
the engine
and
the
tiller transmission take
different
types
of
oil.
So, please
don't
put
the
wrong
kind
of
oil
in the
engine
or
transmission.
6 HP TECUMSEH-LAUSON ENGINE
If
yours
is
a new 6
horsepower
tiller, please
follow
the oil level measuring
instructions
be-
low. Use #30, SE oil. Owners
of
used
or
older
Troy-Bilt
Tillers
should
use
their
dipsticks
to
determine the
proper
oil level.
TO
ADD
MOTOR
OIL-Move
the
depth
regu-
lator bar down
to
engage
the
first
notch
(with
the tines
just
off
the floor), remember
to
have
the
tiller
on level
ground
or
a level floor. With
the depth adjustment
bar
in the first notch,
your
6 horse
power
engine will be
sitting
at its
nor-
mal slope. In this manner, remove
the
oil
dip-
stick from the engine (unscrew it), Using a fun-
nel,
pour
the oil
into
the
dipstick
hole
until the
oil level reading reaches the
"Full"
mark on
the
dipstick
with
the
dipstick
screwed all the
way
into
the hole.
It
should
take
about
24%
ounces
of
oil
(SE#30).
