If you follow the normal

starting procedure, you should
have no problem starting your
tiller. But, just in case you do
have problems, here’s what to do.

Make sure the 

o/

I

switch is on 

I

“start.” You’d be surprised how
many people forget to push the
switch into the “

I

” position.

If the switch was on “

o

” when

you pulled the cord, you may have
flooded the engine.

•First, examine the spark plug. Use the

special wrench that comes with our

optional

MANTIS Handy Item Kit

(Item #8444) or a 3/4 inch spark plug
wrench. (Picture 1)

•Remove the cap over the spark plug.

•Unscrew the spark plug. (Picture 2)

Starting a Flooded Engine

1. If the end of the spark plug is wet,

the engine may be flooded. 

Make sure

the switch is in the “

o

” position,

disconnect spark plug wire and
remove plug. Use a paper towel or a
clean rag to dry the spark plug, then,
with the spark plug out of the engine,
pull the starter cord several times.

Next, replace the spark plug. 
Use the wrench to tighten it and replace
the cap. Next, put the switch in the “

I

”

position and pull the choke button out.
Pull the starter cord three or four times
until the engine coughs or sputters.
Open the choke (push the choke button
in) and pull the cord a few times. The
engine should start and run.

2. If the end of the spark plug is dry,

check to see if the fuel line is blocked.
First loosen the fuel cap to relieve the
pressure in the tank. The fuel line runs
from the fuel tank to the carburetor.
Pull it off at the carburetor end. Fuel
should drip slowly from the line. Wipe
off any excess or spilled fuel.

If fuel does not drip from the line,

check the line for any bends or pinches.
(Picture 3). Kinks in the line restrict the
flow of fuel to the engine. Just
straighten out the line. Reconnect. Then
follow the normal starting procedure.

If fuel drips too freely, the line may be

disconnected from the fuel filter. You’ll
find the fuel filter inside the fuel tank.
Just re-attach the line to the filter, and put

the filter back in the tank. Then follow
the normal starting procedure.

Here’s Another Way to
Start your MANTIS Tiller

If you follow the steps above and

your engine still won’t start, try this:

1. Push the switch to “

I

”.

2. Push in the choke button to open

the choke.

3. Press the plastic bubble a few times.
4. Give the starter cord a few short,

quick pulls. The engine should start
and run.

5. If the engine does not start, then

pull out the choke button to close the
choke. Pull the starter cord four to five
times. The engine should sputter or
cough.

6. After the engine sputters, push the

choke button in. Then pull the starter
cord. The engine should start and run.

7. If the engine still does not start,

repeat steps 2 through 6.

8. If the engine still does not start,

call your local authorized MANTIS
dealer.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Never use starting fluids. Starting fluids
will cause permanent engine damage.
Using them will void the warranty

.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Before you use your MANTIS Tiller,
read the Safety Rules & Warnings on
pages 3-4.

How to Stop
the Engine

Simply push the 

o/

I

“stop/start” switch to
“

o

” (Picture 3). This

will stop the engine
instantly. If it should
ever fail to do so, just
pull out the choke button. The engine
will stop at once.

About the Choke

The choke controls the amount of

air drawn into the engine. Your tiller
will run only if the choke is open —
that is, if the choke is pushed in.

A Special Feature
(with the idle set properly
and the engine running)

Even when the engine is running,

the tines won’t turn unless you press
the throttle lock out button and
squeeze the throttle lever on the
handlebars. And, when you release the
throttle lever, the tines will stop.

A Tip for Extending 
Your Engine’s Life

After you start the engine, let your

tiller warm up for two to three minutes
before you use it. Then, before you put

your tiller away, let it idle for a minute to
give the engine a chance to cool down.

WARNING

• 

DANGER

IF ENGINE DOES NOT STOP WHEN

SWITCH IS PUT IN THE STOP

POSITION, RELEASE THE THROTTLE,

ALLOW ENGINE TO IDLE. PUT THE

TILLER DOWN, AND PULL THE

CHOKE BUTTON OUT TO COLD

START (CLOSED) POSITION. CHECK

AND RETURN IGNITION SWITCH TO

ON POSITION BEFORE STARTING

ENGINE AGAIN.
