2-CYCLE TILLER TRANSPORTATION
Transporting your Tiller is easy. It's light enough and easy
to carry using the carrying handle as seen in Figure 1.
Or, with it running, you can walk it by gently squeezing
the throttle until it moves at a comfortable pace.
Your tiller is easily transported in the back of a car or
truck. Be sure to empty the fuel tank (This is crucial)!
Then stow your tiller in the trunk of your car or truck.
TILLER STORAGE
Never store the equipment
with Fuel in the tank or in
an area where fumes may
accumulate and breach an
open flame or spark
Each fall, or before you store your
Mantis Tiller for any long period, be sure
to take these measures:
1. Do not store your Tiller with fuel still in
it. Even under ideal conditions, stored
fuel containing ethanol or MTBE can
start to go stale in 30 days. And, since
stale fuel has a high gum content, it
can clog the carburetor, this, in turn,
will restrict fuel flow. Therefore, when
you're ready to store your Tiller,
or will not be using it for more
than 2 weeks, drain the fuel tank
completely.
2. Next, restart the engine to make
sure no fuel is left in the carburetor.
Then, run the engine until it stops.
This will prevent gum deposits,
forming inside of the carburetor and
possible engine damage.
3. Disconnect spark plug wire and
remove the spark plug. Slowly pull the
starter cord once.
4. Inspect the spark plug, and if
necessary, clean it. If you need to
replace it, buy a NGR-BPM8Y.
2-Cycle Tiller Transportation & Storage
Pour about a teaspoon of clean, air-
cooled, two-cycle oil through the spark-
plug hole into the combustion chamber.
Leaving the spark plug out slowly pull
the starter cord two or three times to
coat the inside of the cylinder wall.
5. Install the spark plug, but leave the
spark plug wire disconnected.
6. Wipe the tines with oil or spray them
with WD-40, to prevent rusting.
7. Clean or replace the air filter.
8. Check or replace fuel filter.
9. Check the grease level in the worm
gear housing. Add grease if needed.
10. Store your Tiller in an upright position
in a clean, dry place. You can store
with the handles in an extended
position or folded down.
To fold the handles down, simply
loosen the lower 2-pronged knobs
until you can pivot the upper handles
down. (Figure 2)
Or it can be hung using the handle
brace.
11. Do you have fuel left over from last
season? Dispose of it properly. Buy
fresh oil and gasoline next season.
12. Remove Tilling Tines or attachments
and lightly oil tine shaft at least once
a year.
