GETTING YOUR TILLER TO YOUR GARDEN

Walk it.

Once your tiller is running, you can “walk” it to your garden. Just press the throttle lock out button and squeeze the throttle lever gently and let the tiller “tip-toe” across your yard on its tines. It won’t hurt your lawn or driveway.

Carry It.

Make sure the engine is off. Then use one hand to grasp the

convenient carrying handle. Use the other hand to hold the handlebars. (Picture 1) Then lift your tiller and carry it to your garden. Since it weighs only 20 pounds, it won’t strain your muscles or tire you out!

Take It for a Ride.

You can easily transport your MANTIS Tiller to a friend’s or relative’s house. Just empty the fuel tank. (This is crucial.) Then stow your Tiller in the

trunk of your car or truck. It fits easily. And you can put it in and take it our without straining your back.

! WARNING !
