Deluxe XP Tiller Fueling & Starting

MANTIS

DELUXE XP TILLER FUELING AND OIL

• Rock the tiller forward so

that it rests on its front loop

handle.

• It is important to position the

Mantis

Deluxe XP Tiller as

shown in Figure 1 so the oil

will properly ll the crankcase.

Failure to do so will cause

engine damage.

• Remove the oil plug.

• Pour in the bottle of pre-measured, Mantis approved, 4-cycle

engine oil.

• Always check the oil level before each use. The oil level

should reach the inner rst thread of the reservoir. Do not

overll.

• Replace the oil plug.

• Then return the unit to the upright position and put the

kickstand down.

Fueling your Mantis

Deluxe XP Tiller/Cultivator is easy.

Unscrew the gas cap and ll the tank about four-fths of the

way up with 89 octane unleaded gasoline. And remember,

always drain the gas when transporting the unit from one

location to another.

MANTIS

DELUXE XP TILLER STARTING ONLY

Starting the engine for the rst time, or “cold

starting”, is easy.

• First, make sure the start/stop switch, located

on the throttle handle, is in the start position,

which is indicated by the “I” symbol.

• Close the choke by moving the choke lever to

the up position.

• Press the primer bulb approximately 6 times until the bulb is

lled with gas. Once it is lled, press it two more times.

• Pull the starter cord lightly until you feel resistance and then

give it a short, brisk pull. Your tiller should start immediately.

Do not pull the cord all the way out and do not let it snap back

into the starter housing.

•

Once it is running, open the choke. Ensure the lever is fully down

• To stop the engine, simply push the start/stop switch to the

stop position “O.”

• To start a warm engine, follow the same procedure. Except

now you can leave the choke lever in the down position and

there is no need to pump the primer bulb.

• Before using the tiller, let the engine run for a minute to warm

up. And before shutting it down, let the engine run briey to

cool down.

Switch on

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Check the oil level in the engine before each use. If

oil is low see your 4-Stroke Tiller Engine Manual and

information above for details.

Never use starting uids as they will cause permanent

engine damage. Using them will void the warranty.

Before you use the tiller, read the Safety & Warning

rules on pages 4-6.

IMPORTANT!

It is normal for your 4-stroke engine to smoke for the rst

minute or two of operation, however it is not necessary

for this to occur every time. This is a result of the oil being

pulled through the engine for lubrication.
