Your MANTIS Tiller has been

designed and built to accept a

wide range of MANTIS Tiller

Attachments to increase its

usefulness in your lawn and

garden. And, all MANTIS Tiller

Attachments have been designed

for quick and easy attachment to

the Tiller or Engine.

The Border Edger

(Item #3222)

The most popular attachment,

the Border Edger can be used to

cut clean, neat edges along

walkways, or around trees, shrubs,

and garden beds.

The Border Edger has two

parts: a wheel and a hardened

steel blade, with pointed tines.

How to Install the

Border Edger

The following instructions refer

to “right” and “left” axles.

Assume that you’re standing

behind your Tiller, as you would

for tilling and cultivating.

Some areas of your yard may

harbor roots and other

underground obstructions. In

places like this you’ll want to edge

your borders shallowly (1” to 2”

deep). Here’s how to install the

Border Edger for shallow edging:

1. First remove your

Tilling/Cultivating tines.

2. Then slide the Edger’s wheel

onto the right axle.

3. Now slide the Edger blade onto

the left axle. The blade’s angled

face should hit the ground when

you spin the blade forward.

4. Insert retaining pins on both left

and right axles.

Around walkways and garden

beds, you’ll want to edge more

deeply (3” to 4” deep). Here’s how

to install the Border Edger for that

purpose:

1. Remove the Tilling/ Cultivating

tines.

2. Slide the Edger’s blade onto the

right axle. The blade’s pointed

face should hit the ground when

you spin the blade forward.

3. Slide the wheel onto the left

axle.

4. Insert retaining pins on both

sides.

How to Use the

Border Edger

1. Position your MANTIS

Tiller so that the Edger blade is

right along the garden edge and

the wheel is outside (on the

lawn, on the sidewalk,

wherever). (Picture 1)

2. Start your Tiller and pull your

MANTIS backward along the

garden edge.

The Border Edger Can

Handle Special Projects!

1. Install the Edger for deep

edging, as directed above. Then

use it to cut sod strips.

2. Edge and weed at the same

time! Just attach the Edger

blade on one axle and a Tiller

tine on the other axle, “Mix and

match” blades; don’t be afraid

to experiment.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

If you do a lot of edging, you’ll

appreciate the MANTIS Wheel

Set (Item#9222.) It gives you

added stability, for even easier

handling.

To order the Wheel Set, or

any MANTIS Attachment, contact

your local authorized MANTIS

dealer.
