Assembly
(continued)
Assembling the tines
for tilling
1. Remove the cardboard from
around your Tiller’s base.
2. Slide the tines onto the axle
shafts. The “D” hole goes on the
outside. (Picture 1)
3. Make sure you’ve installed the
tines properly for tilling. Liken the
tines to your fingers. When your
palm faces the ground, your fingers
curl down. Stand behind the Tiller
and hold your hand next to the tines.
Do the tine blades curl down, as
your fingers do? If so, they are in
the tilling position. (To switch to the
cultivating position, see page 14.)
4. To secure each tine to the axle,
insert a tine retaining pin.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Before starting your
4 Stroke/Mantis Tiller, add the
premeasured (80ml) bottle of
4 stroke engine oil. See 4 Stroke
Tiller Engine Manual and
information below for details.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Before you use your
MANTIS Tiller, read the
Safety Rules & Warnings
on pages 3-5.

inner first thread of the sump plug.
