TILLER TRANSPORTATION
Transporting your Tiller is easy.
It’s light enough and easy to carry
using the carrying handle as seen
in .
Or, with it running, you can walk
it by gently squeezing the throttle
until it moves at a comfortable pace
seen in .
Your tiller is easily transported
in the back of an automobile. Be
sure to empty the fuel tank (This is
crucial)! Then stow your tiller in the
boot of your automobile.
Your Tiller is easily stored using the
kickstand in its upright position or with
the handles folded.
To fold the handles down, simply
loosen the lower 2-pronged knobs until
you can pivot the upper handles down.
Or it can be hung using the handle
brace.
It is very important to empty the fuel
tank if you are storing your tiller for
more than 30 days to prevent engine
damage.
IMPORTANT:
It is important to store your Mantis
Tiller in an upright position. Lay-
ing the Tiller on its side will cause
the oil to leak out of the engine
through the air cleaner case.
IMPORTANT:
Avoid any orientation that places
the top cover (engine head) down
-this may allow oil from the crank-
case to enter the combustion
chamber and cause hard starting
or a locked piston.
