How about a family-

size vegetable garden?

Nowadays many gardeners

prefer small gardens —

especially in the suburbs, where

space is at a premium. But, if

you’re fortunate enough to own a

large lot, you can create a bigger

garden — a half acre or more.

Although your MANTIS Tiller

could handle the job, the project

could be completed faster if you

were to hire someone with a

tractor or larger tiller to break the

ground for you. This is a one-

time-only investment that’s well

worth the small cost.

Your MANTIS Tiller

Makes Weeding a

Pleasure!

As a tiller, your MANTIS

Tiller works the soil down to 10”

(25.4 cm) deep. But, as a

cultivator, it gently cultivates the

surface, only 2" to 3" (5.09 cm to

7.62 cm) deep.

First, you must switch the tines

to the weeding position. This

takes less than a minute.

Then, your MANTIS Tiller’s

sharp “tine teeth” will slice up

those pesky weeds, burying them

as you go along. And, since the

tines in this position won’t dig

too deep, they won’t hurt your

plants’ precious root systems.

The result? Your Tiller will cut

your weeding time in half, and

turn a tiresome chore into a

pleasure.

How to Switch From

Tilling to Cultivating

Position

1. Make sure your Tiller is off.

2. Remove the retaining pins

from the tines. (Picture 2)

3. Remove the tines from

the axle.

4. Place the right-side tine onto

the left-side axle. Place the left

side tine onto the right-side

axle. The “D” hole should be

to the outside.

5. Here is how to make sure

you’ve installed the tines

properly. Stand behind the

Tiller and hold your hand,

palm up, next to the tines. Do

the tine points curl up, as your

fingers do? If so, they are in

the correct cultivating position.

(See photos on Page 14)

6. Reinsert the pins.

IMPORTANT

To change the tines on your

4-Cycle MANTIS Tiller, push

the tiller forward and allow it

to rest on the engine.
