A.Parts

Your MANTIS Electric Tiller comes partially assembled. You must install only the handlebars, the handle brace, and the tines. This will take just a few minutes if you follow the directions.

First, take all items out of the carton. But do not remove the cardboard from around the tiller’s base.

The list below, shows the parts that come with your tiller. Check to make sure you have them.

The bag of hardware is in the plastic bag containing the Owner’s Manual and Video.

To assemble your MANTIS Electric Tiller, you’ll need two 7/16" wrenches. We suggest that you install all nuts and bolts only “finger tight” — that is, one- half to one full turn — until you’ve completed assembly. The nuts are self locking, but you must use a wrench to tighten them completely.
