Mantis Tiller/Cultivator, Owner'S Manual

Page: 6 / 32

6
Your MANTIS Tiller comes partially
assembled. You must install only the
handlebars, the carrying handle, and the
tines. This will take just a few minutes if
you follow the directions.
First, take all items out of the
carton. But do not remove the cardboard
from around the tiller’s base.
The list at the right, shows the parts
that come with your tiller. Check to make
sure you have them.
The bag of hardware is in the plastic
bag containing the owner’s manual and
video.
To assemble your MANTIS Tiller, you’ll
need two 11 mm (7/16”) wrenches or two
adjustable wrenches. We suggest that you
install all nuts and bolts only “finger
tight” — that is, one-half to one full
turn — until you’ve completed
assembly.
The nuts are self locking,
but you must use a wrench to tighten
them completely.
