Mantis Tiller/Cultivator Assembly

Your MANTIS Tiller comes partially

assembled. You must install only the

handlebars, the carrying handle, 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 at the right, 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 Tiller,

you’ll need two 7/16" (11 mm)

spanners/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 spanner/wrench to tighten them

completely.
