Troy-Bilt 769-09220A Manuel D’Utilisation

Before performing any maintenance or 

repairs, disengage PTO, move shift lever into neutral 

position, set parking brake, stop engine and remove 

key to prevent unintended starting.

Refer to the Engine Operator/Owner Manual for engine 

maintenance instructions.
Check engine oil level before each use as instructed in the Engine 

Operator/Owner Manual packed with your unit. Follow the 

instructions carefully.

If the engine has been recently run, the 

engine, muffler and surrounding metal surfaces will 

be hot and can cause burns to the skin.  Exercise 

caution to avoid burns. 

NOTE: The oil filter should be changed at every oil change 

interval. 

To complete an oil change, proceed as follows:
1. 

Run the engine for a few minutes to allow the oil in the 

crankcase to warm up. Warm oil will flow more freely and 

carry away more of the engine sediment which may have 

settled at the bottom of the crankcase. Use care to avoid 

burns from hot oil.

2. 

Open the tractor’s hood and locate the oil drain port on 

the left side of the engine.

3. 

Pop open the protective cap on the end of the oil drain 

valve to expose the drain port. See inset of Figure 6-1.

4. 

Remove the oil fill cap/ dipstick from the oil fill tube.

5. 

Push the oil drain hose (packed with this manual) onto the 

oil drain port. Route the opposite end of the hose into an 

appropriate oil collection container with at least a 2.5 quart 

capacity, to collect the used oil.

6. 

Slightly push in on the oil drain valve and rotate to open 

and allow the flow of oil. See Figure 6-1. 

7. 

After the oil has finished draining, push the oil drain valve 

back in and rotate into the locked position. Re-cap the end 

of the oil drain valve to keep debris from entering the drain 

port.

8. 

Replace the oil filter (if equipped) as instructed in the 

separate engine Owner’s Manual.

9. 

Refill the engine with new oil. Refer to the engine Owner’s 

Manual for information regarding the proper volume and 

weight of engine oil.

For draining oil from the engine’s crankcase of select model 

tractors, a plastic oil drain sleeve is packed with this Operator’s 

Manual. To drain the oil, proceed as follows:
1. 

Unscrew the oil fill cap and remove the dipstick from the oil 

fill tube.

2. 

Snap the small end of oil drain sleeve onto the oil sump. 

See Figure 6-2.

3. 

Remove drain plug and drain oil into a suitable container 

with a capacity of no less than 64 oz.

4. 

Service oil filter (if so equipped) as instructed in the separate 

Engine Operator/Owner Manual packed with your unit.
