HOW TO ASSEMBLE
UPPER HANDLES &
PLASTIC CARRYING
HANDLE.
1. Lightly squeeze the lower handles
(#3) toward one another so that they
line up with the two smaller holes on
the carrying handle (#29). Then slide
the carrying handle over and down the
lower handles. It will rest about four to
six inches above the engine. (Picture 1)
2. Gently pull the lower handles out
to their original position.
3. Attach the upper handle assembly
(#1) – the handle with the throttle
cable and ground wire – onto the right
handle, and secure with the handle
knob (#40) and 1 round head bolt
(#39) (Picture 2).
Be sure you have
proper throttle movements and that
the throttle cable is not wrapped or
twisted around the handle bar.
Squeeze trigger and let go. The triangle
must click in both directions. If there
is any doubt, remove air filter and
visually check that the throttle triangle
hits both the idle screw and the full
open stop. THIS MUST BE DONE
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE.
4. Follow the same steps to install
the left upper handle onto the other
lower handle. (Picture 3)
5. Use the clip (#6) to secure the
throttle cable and wire in place on the
lower handle. (Picture 4)
6. Now install the Handle Brace.
Line it up with the holes on the upper
handles. Then insert a Cap Screw
(#34) and a Lock Nut (#35) on either
side (Picture 5)
7. Use a wrench to tighten Cap
Screws and Lock Nuts.
8. Now use wrench to tighten all
nuts and bolts firmly and securely.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Make sure you have installed the
handles properly. When you stand
behind your tiller, holding the
handles, you should face the
gasoline tank.

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.
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 10.)
4. To secure each tine to the axle,
insert a tine retaining pin.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Before you use your MANTIS Tiller,
read the Safety Rules & Warnings on
pages 3-4.
Here’s how to mix the oil with
the gas:
1. Pour 1/2 of the gasoline into a safe
container. Do not mix the fuel and oil in
the engine fuel tank.
2. Add 2.6 ounces of two-cycle
engine oil to the gasoline and mix.
Then add the rest of the gasoline.
3. Screw the cap onto the gasoline
can. Then swirl the can to blend the
oil and gas.
4. Carefully pour the fuel mix into
the tiller’s fuel tank. After putting the
fuel tank’s cap back on, wipe up any
spilled fuel from tank and gasoline
can.
IMPORTANT:
Two stroke fuel separates and ages. Do
not mix more than you will use in a
month.
Using old fuel can cause
difficult starting or engine damage.
Shake fuel container to thoroughly mix
fuel before each use. Do not attempt to
run your engine on gasoline only, use
proper fuel mixture.
Need more pre-measured engine oil?
You can order it from your local
authorized MANTIS dealer.
Remember …
•Always mix two-cycle oil with
gasoline before fueling your tiller.
Never, ever run your tiller on gasoline
alone. This will ruin your engine and
void all warranties.
•Always use a clean gas can and always
use unleaded gas.
•Never try to mix the oil and gasoline
in the engine fuel tank.
•Always mix oil and gas in the proper
proportions: 2.6 ounces of two-cycle
engine oil to one gallon of unleaded
gasoline.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Do Not use old or stale oil/gasoline
mixture. Always use the proper
oil/gasoline mixture. If you do not,
your engine will suffer rapid,
permanent damage.
And
you will
void the engine warranty.
