Now You’re Ready to
Cultivate or Weed.
Guide your Tiller where you
want to weed and start it up.
Pull your Tiller backward
slowly, then let it move forward
a bit, in a gentle rocking
motion. Watch it slice, shred,
and bury those weeds!
Got tough weeds? Lighten
your pressure on the throttle to
slow your Tiller down. Then
work back and forth until your
Tiller chops up the weeds. It’s
easy and effective!
Remember, any tiller will
tangle in tall grass, stringy
vines, or super-big weeds. So, if
you have a “backyard jungle,”
first use a knife, pruner, or
brush cutter to chop up the
overgrowth. If the tines become
tangled anyway, push the
switch to the “o” position to
turn the engine off completely
before trying to clear them.
The optional tine Detangler
(Item #1322) will clear tines in
a jiffy. Call 1-800-363-7333 for
details. (Ask for the Sales
Department.)
CULTIVATING
Tilling Position
Tine teeth point in the same
direction as the rotation of the
tine; or toward the front of the
Tiller, away from the operator.
Cultivating Position
Tine teeth point in the
opposite direction as the
rotation of the tine. Tines point
toward the back of the tiller, or
toward the operator.
Your Mantis Tiller Will
Weed Between Narrow
Rows!
Your Mantis Tiller is a
precision weeder that easily fits
in tight places. So don’t be afraid
to weed anywhere: between
plants and shrubs; in corners;
against fences; on raised beds; in
wide rows; even in very narrow
rows. Your Mantis Tiller weeds
six* to nine inches wide. So you
can run it in a tightly planted
garden without damaging your
delicate plants. That’s good news
for suburban gardeners, who
often have to plant rows close
together!
*With optional Planter
Furrower attachment
(Item MT6222).
