A.Now You’re Ready to Use Your MANTIS Electric Tiller

If you’ve seen other tillers, your MANTIS Electric Tiller may surprise you. It tills best when you pull it backward! When you pull your MANTIS Electric Tiller backward, you give extra resistance to the tines, so they dig deeper. (Picture 1).

What’s more, when you go backward, you erase footprints. So your soil stays light and fluffy. While other tillers, by contrast, you walk right over the soil you’ve just tilled, packing it down.

B.Run Your MANTIS Electric Tiller Like a Vacuum

Place your tiller at the head of the row or area you want to till. Turn it on. Then use an easy rocking motion. First, pull your tiller backward. Then use an easy rocking motion. Again, pull your tiller backward. Then let it move forward just a little bit. Then pull it backward again. This will help you till deeper.

Keep repeating these steps until you’ve tilled an entire row. Start again on the next row. It’s a lot like running a vacuum. (Picture 2)

C.You Can Even Control Depth

For Deeper Tilling:

Move your tiller slowly back and forth, as you would a vacuum cleaner. Work the same area over and over until you’ve dug to your desired depth. (Picture 3)

For Shallow Tilling:

Switch the tines to the cultivating position. (See pg. 12 to learn how) Then move you tiller quickly over your soil surface.

For Big Weeds or Tough Roots

Let your tiller rock back and forth over the tough spot, until the tines slice through the weed or root.
