WARNING • DANGER

F ENGINE DOES NOT STOP WHEN SWITCH IS PUT IN THE STOP POSITION, RELEASE THE

THROTTLE, ALLOW ENGINE TO IDLE. PUT THE TILLER DOWN, AND SLIDE

THE CHOKE LEVER FORWARD TO THE COLD START (CLOSED) POSITION.

CHECK AND RETURN IGNITION SWITCH TO ON POSITION BEFORE STARTING ENGINE AGAIN.

Additional Information

Walk it.

Once your tiller is running, you

can “walk” it to your garden. Just

press the throttle lever gently and

let the tiller “tip-toe” across your

yard on its tines. It won’t hurt your

lawn or driveway. (Picture 1)

Carry It.

Make sure the engine is off.

Then use one hand to grasp the

convenient carrying handle. Use

the other hand to hold the

handlebars. (Picture 2) Then lift

your tiller and carry it to your

garden. Since it weighs only 24

pounds, it won’t strain your

muscles or tire you out!

Take It for a Ride.

You can easily transport your

MANTIS Tiller to a friend’s or

relative’s house. Just empty the

fuel tank. (This is crucial.) Then

stow your Tiller in the trunk of

your car or truck. It fits easily.

And you can put it in and take it

out without straining your back.

A Tip for Extending Your

Engine’s Life

After you start the engine, let

your tiller warm up for two to three

minutes before you use it. Then,

before you put your tiller away, let it

idle for a minute to give the engine

a chance to cool down.

Operation

With engine running, and both

hands on the handles, press the

throttle lock out button (Picture 4),

then squeeze the throttle trigger

gradually to increase the engine

speed and engage the tines.

NOTE: This step must be

repeated each time your tiller

trigger is released.

NOTE: Once the throttle trigger

is squeezed, you can release the

lockout button (Picture 5).

A Special Feature (with the

idle set properly and the

engine running)

Even when the engine is running,

the tines won’t turn unless you press

the throttle lever on the handlebars.

And, when you release the throttle

lever, the tines will stop.

WARNING

NEVER CARRY YOUR TILLER AS

THE PERSON IN PICTURE 7 IS

DOING. IF YOU DO, YOU WILL

SUFFER SERIOUS INJURY.
