! WARNING•DANGER !

IMPROPER ASSEMBLY OF THIS TILLER CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.

MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.

Your MANTIS® XP Tiller comes partially assembled. Full assembly 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 7/16" and one 3/8" wrenches or sockets. 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.
