Your Mantis Edger comes partially assembled;
you must install the handlebars and clip in
the throttle cable. The Mantis Edger can be
assembled by one person, but will be easier
with help from a second person. Assembly
will take just a few minutes if you follow the
directions.
First, take all items out of the carton.
Save the cardboard box to prop up the
engine for ease of assembly.
The list on page 7 shows the parts that come
with your edger. Check to make sure you
have all of them. The bag of hardware
is in the plastic bag containing the Owner’s
Manual and Video.
To assemble your Mantis Edger, you’ll need a
flat head screwdriver. We suggest that you
first install all nuts and bolts only “finger
tight” - that is, one-half to one full turn -
then, fully tighten after you’ve completed
assembly.
The nuts are self-locking, but you
must use a screwdriver to tighten
them completely.
