Tilling/Cultivating

! WARNING • DANGER !

IF YOUR TINES GET JAMMED OR ENTANGLED, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AT ONCE.

REMOVE THE SPARK PLUG WIRE THEN REMOVE THE OBSTRUCTION WHILE THE ENGINE IS OFF. NEVER TRY TO REMOVE AN OBSTRUCTION WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. SERIOUS INJURY CAN RESULT.

How about a family-size vegetable garden?

Nowadays many gardeners prefer small gardens — especially in the suburbs, where space is at a premium. But, if you’re fortunate enough to own a large lot, you can create a bigger garden — a half acre or more. Here’s how:

1.First, hire someone with a tractor or big tiller to break ground for you. This is a one- time-only investment that’s well worth the small cost.

2.Then, use your Tiller to break up any remaining clumps of soil or sod. Unlike a tractor or big tiller, your MANTIS Tiller is a precision tool. It will pulverize your soil into a smooth seed bed.

Your MANTIS Tiller

Makes Weeding a

Pleasure!

As a tiller, your MANTIS Tiller works the soil down to 10” (25.4 cm) deep. But, as a cultivator, it gently cultivates the surface, only 2” to 3” (5.09 cm to 7.62 cm) deep.

First, you must change the tines to the weeding position. This takes less than a minute.

Then, your MANTIS Tiller’s sharp “tine teeth” will slice up those pesky weeds, burying them as you go along. And, since the tines in this position won’t dig too deep, they won’t hurt your plants’ precious root systems.

The result? Your Tiller will cut your weeding time in half, and turn a tiresome chore into a pleasure.

How to Switch From Tilling to Cultivating Position

1.Make sure your Tiller is

off.

2.Remove the retaining pins from the tines.

3.Remove the tines from the

axle.

4.Place the right-side tine onto the left-side axle. Place the left side tine onto the right-side axle. The “D” hole should be to the outside.

5.Here is how to make sure you’ve installed the tines properly. Stand behind the Tiller and hold your hand, palm up, next to the tines. Do the tine points curl up, as your fingers do? If so, they are in the correct cultivating position.

6.Reinsert the pins.
