STORAGE

Each hlt --or before you store your

MANTIS Tiller for an)' long period --be sure to take these measures:

1Do not store your Tiller with fuel still in it Even under ideal conditions,

stored fuel containing ethanol or MTBE can start to go stale in 30 days And, since stale fuel has a high gum content, it can clog the carburetor, this, in tmn, will resuict fuel flm_: So, when you're ready to store your Tiller, or will not be using it for more than 2 weeks, drain the fuel tank completely, (Picture 2)

2.Next, restart the engine to make sure no fuel is left in the carburetor.

Then run the engine until it stops lqais wilt pre_ent gum deposits, forming inside of the carburetor and possible engine damage.

3.Disconnect spark plug wire and remove the spark plug (Use the wrench that comes in our optional Hand}, item Kit, Item #8444 Or use a 19mm or 3/4" spark-plug wrench.) Pour about a teaspoon of clean, air-cooled, two-cycle oil through Ore spark-plug hole into the combustion chamber (Picture 3) Leaving the spark plug out slowly pull the starter cord two or three times to coat ttae inside

of the cylinder walt

4..Replace the spark plug with a NGK- BPMSY A replacemem spark plug is included in the optional Handy Item Kit item # 8444.

5.Install the spark plug, but leave the spark plug wire disconnected

Your handles are now foIded and ready to store in a smaller area

t5 Do you have fuel Iefl over from last season? Dispose of it properly Buy fresh oil and gasoline next season

How to Prepare Your

MANTIS Tiller for

Restarting

Unfold the handles into an upright or

extended position Tighten the two handle knobs (#40)

In the Spring. when you take },our Tiller

out of storage, remove the spark plug.. Pull tire starter cord three or four times

to clean oil fl'om the combustion chamber

(Picture 4) Wipe oil from tile spark plug. Place the spark plug back into the cylinder Re-connect the spark plug wire back on tile spark plug. 7"hen follow the steps on pages 9 & !0 to refuel and restart },our Tiller

Again, Check the

Carburetor.

If },our Tiller won't restart in the Spring --or if it lacks its usual power

due carburetor may need attention.. Follow tile steps on page 19 for adjusting the H and L screws (Picture 5)

or' if the ground electrode is worn If either is the case, you should replace it with a NGK-BPMSY spark plug Use a 19mm or a 3/4" spark-plug wrench to install it, Adjust the plug gap to ,024 - 028 in, (0 6 to 0 7 ram)

Caution: Do not over tighten
