How to Check the Grease Level Inside the

Worm Gear Housing

When we built your MANTIS Tiller, we lubricated the worm gear housing thoroughly.

It is imperative that you inspect the grease level once a year. Simply remove the cover plate on the worm gear housing. (Picture 1) Then check to make sure the grease comes almost to the top of the housing. If it doesn’t, add lithium #0 grease (Item M9985.) This is the only way to add grease to the worm gear housing. (Picture 2) To purchase MANTIS grease, contact your local authorized MANTIS dealer.

Please do not overfill. Too much grease can create pressure, which could cause seals to fail or the clutch to slip.

Clear Blockages From the Fuel Line & Filter:

After you’ve used your Tiller for a few seasons, check for blockages in the fuel tank and fuel filter. Such blockages can keep your Tiller from starting.

Clear any blockages you see in the tank, fuel filter, or fuel line. Remember: The fuel filter is located inside the tank. (See Picture 3) Then use the normal starting procedure to start your Tiller.
