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 ifthe 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 enginetowards
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.
