C. THE TINES DON’T SEEM TO DIG LIKE THEY USED TO
Troubleshooting
If the tines are not performing as they did when you rst bought
the tiller, inspect them for excessive wear. If they are worn, you
can order a new pair.
To order replacement Tines Contact your local authorized
Mantis dealer or call 1-800-366-6268.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
To keep your Mantis Electric Tiller running as
efciently as possible, always make sure the
tines are clear of rocks and debris.
If you continue to experience problems, call
Mantis toll Free at 1-800-366-6268.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Handles can fold back or forward. When folding handles back, as show
in picture #4, be careful not to damage the 3-speed switch.
When we built your Mantis Electric Tiller, we lubricated the
worm gear housing thoroughly.
It is imperative that you inspect the grease level once a year.
Simply remove the cover plate on the worm gear housing.
(Picture 1) Then check to make sure the grease comes almost
to the top of the housing. If it doesn’t, add lithium #0 grease
(Item 9985.) This is the only way to add grease to the worm
gear housing. (Picture 2) To purchase Mantis grease, contact
your local authorized Mantis dealer or call
1-800-366-6268.
Please do not overll. Too much grease can create pressure,
which could cause seals to fail or the clutch to slip.
1. Clean dirt, grass and other materials from the entire machine.
2. Wipe the tines with oil or spray them with WD-40, to prevent rusting.
3. Remove Tilling Tines or attachments and lightly oil tine shaft at least once a year.
4. Check the grease level in the gear housing, as described above.
5. Order new parts to replace any that are badly worn or broken. Contact your local
authorized Mantis dealer.
6. Store your tiller in a clean, dry place. You can store with the handles in
an extended position (Picture 3) or folded down. (Picture 4)
7. To fold down the handles, follow these easy steps: Loosen the handle knobs (#12), fold
the handles forward or back. (Picture 4) Tighten knob securely. Your handles are now
folded and ready to store in a smaller area.
