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 DVD.
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 “nger 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.
