CULTIVATING

Tilling Position

Tine teeth point in the same direction as the rotation of the tine; or toward the front of the Tiller, away from the operator.

Cultivating Position

Tine teeth point in the opposite direction as the rotation of the tine. Tines point toward the back of the tiller, or toward the operator.

Now You’re Ready to Cultivate or Weed.

Guide your Tiller where you want to weed and start it up. Pull your Tiller backward slowly, then let it move forward a bit, in a gentle rocking motion. Watch it slice, shred, and bury those weeds!

Got tough weeds? Lighten your pressure on the throttle to slow your Tiller down. Then work back and forth until your Tiller chops up the weeds. It’s easy and effective!

Remember, any tiller will tangle in tall grass, stringy vines, or super-big weeds. So, if you have a “backyard jungle,” first use a knife, pruner, or brush cutter to chop up the overgrowth. If the tines become tangled anyway, toggle the switch to the “o” position to turn the engine off completely before trying to clear them.

Your Mantis Tiller Will

Weed Between Narrow

Rows!

Your Mantis Tiller is a precision weeder that easily fits in tight places. So don’t be afraid to weed anywhere: between plants and shrubs; in corners; against fences; on raised beds; in wide rows; even in very narrow rows. Your Mantis Tiller weeds six* to nine inches wide. So you can run it in a tightly planted garden without damaging your delicate plants. That’s good news for suburban gardeners, who often have to plant rows close together!

*With optional Planter Furrower attachment (Item #6222.)
