18 Deluxe 2-Cycle & 4-Cycle Tiller Operator’s Manual
Your Deluxe 2 Cycle Tiller will require some basic maintenance
to keep it performing year after year.
Of course, your Mantis is designed to be used in the soil, but
dirt is the enemy of any engine. You should check the air fi lter
regularly
To replace the fi lter, remove the fi lter cover by fi rst unscrewing
the wing nut. Carefully remove the fi lter cover, then simply pull
out the fi lter and replace It with a clean fi lter.
If a new fi lter is not immediately available, you can clean the
old fi lter with a brush to remove debris.
If you are storing your tiller for the season or longer than 30
days it is very important to empty the fuel tank to prevent
engine damage from foul fuel.
The fuel fi lter should be replaced every year. Open the fuel cap
and using the cap retainer you can remove the fuel intake line.
The fi lter is at the end.
Hold the fuel line and work the fi lter out. Then just push the
new one back into the tube making sure the clamping wire is up
high enough to engage with the stem of the fi lter.
