Assembly
A. PARTS
Your Mantis Electric Tiller comes partially assembled. You
must install only the handlebars, the handle brace, and
the tines. This will take just a few minutes if you follow the
directions.
Improper assembly of this tiller can result in serious
injury. Make sure to follow all instructions carefully.
If you have any questions contact our factory at
1-800-366-6268 or an authorized dealer.
First, take all items out of the carton. But do not remove the
cardboard from around the tiller’s base.
The list below, 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
Operator’s/Parts Manual.
62
To assemble your Mantis Electric Tiller, you’ll need two 7/16”
wrenches. We suggest that you install all nuts and bolts only
“finger tight” — that is, one-half to one full turn — until you’ve
completed assembly. The nuts are self locking, but you
must use a wrench to tighten them completely.

B. LOWER HANDLE ASSEMBLY
To identify part numbers, see page 6 and 15.
1. Use the protective cardboard sleeve to stabilize your
tiller. Stand the motor assembly (#62) up. (Picture 1)
2. Lay the handle parts within easy reach. You’ll need one
of the handle clamps (#19) and one of the lower handles
(#10). Note that the lower handles have a short leg on
one end.
3. Fit the handle clamp along the outside of the short leg.
Line up the holes on the clamp and the leg.
4. Choose one of the two 3-inch bolts (#20). Slide it through
the first set of holes — near the elbow where the lower
handle curves. (Picture 2)
Picture 1
Picture 2
5. Now slide the other lower handle onto the 3-inch bolt. Fit
the other clamp onto this other handle’s short leg. Add a
nut and tighten finger tight. (Picture 3)
6. Locate the worm gear housing. It starts just above — and
extends down through — the tiller’s red fender guard.
You’ll notice that there’s a recessed channel on either
side of the housing’s top. (Picture 4.)
7. Take the lower handles that you’ve just put together.
Slide them into the two recessed channels.(Picture 5.)
Make sure you insert them from the rear of the tiller - so
that the bolt fits along the back of the housing.
8. Slide the second 3-inch bolt through the second set of
holes in the short legs and clamps. Add a nut and tighten
finger tight.

D. ASSEMBLING THE TINES FOR TILLING
1. Remove the cardboard from around your tiller’s base.
2. Slide the tines onto the axle shafts. The “D” hole goes on
the outside.
3. Make sure you’ve installed the tines properly for tilling.
Liken the tines to your fingers. When your palm faces
the ground, your fingers curl down. Stand behind the
tiller and hold your hand next to the tines. Do the tine
blades curl down, as your fingers do? If so, they are in
the tilling position. (To switch to the cultivating position,
see page 11.)
4. To secure each tine to the axle, insert a tine retaining pin.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Before you use your Mantis Tiller, read the Safety Rules &
Warnings on pages 4-5.

Mantis® Classic Electric Tiller Operator’s Manual
Before You Begin Tilling
A. STARTING
Starting your Mantis Electric Tiller is easy.
1. Simply loop your extension cord through the built-in extension cord holder. This is provided to secure the extension cord
and help prevent it from becoming detached.
2. Connect the extension cord to the power cord on the tiller. (Picture 1)
3. Plug the extension cord into an outlet.
4. Pick a speed. (Picture 2)
CAUTION: This Tiller is Strong (Powerful). If you are starting the unit for the first time, the Tiller will start quickly.
Be sure to start the Tiller in the low speed (#1), until you get used to it.
5. Squeeze the triggers to begin tilling. (Picture 3)
Picture 1
Picture 2
Picture 3
B. GETTING YOUR TILLER TO THE GARDEN
Walk it.
Put the tiller in 1st speed; you can “walk” it to your garden.
Just squeeze the triggers and let the tiller “tip-toe” across your
yard on its tines. It won’t hurt your lawn or driveway. (Picture 4)
Carry It.
Make sure the power cord is unplugged from the extension
cord. Then use one hand to grasp the convenient carrying
handle. Use the other hand to hold the handlebars. (Picture 5)
Then lift your tiller and carry it to your garden. Since it weighs
only 21 pounds, it won’t strain your muscles or tire you out!
Picture 5
Picture 4
Take It for a Ride.
You can easily transport your MANTIS Electric Tiller to a
friend’s or relative’s house. Simply fold down the handles, then
store your tiller in the trunk of your car or truck. It fits easily.
And you can put it in and take it our without straining your
back. (Picture 6)
Never carry your tiller as the person in picture 7 is
doing. If you do, and the tines engage, you could
suffer serious injury.

Tilling
The operator of this tiller is responsible for
accidents or hazards occurring to himself,
other people or their property.
A. NOW YOU’RE READY TO USE YOUR MANTIS ELECTRIC TILLER
If you’ve seen other tillers, your Mantis Electric Tiller may
surprise you. It tills best when you pull it backward! When
you pull your Mantis Electric Tiller backward, you give extra
resistance to the tines, so they dig deeper. (Picture 1).
What’s more, when you go backward, you erase footprints.
So your soil stays light and fluffy. While other tillers, by
contrast, you walk right over the soil you’ve just tilled, packing
it down so it’s less plantable.
Picture 1
Picture 2
Picture 3
B. RUN YOUR MANTIS ELECTRIC TILLER LIKE A VACUUM
Place your tiller at the head of the row or area you want to till.
Turn it on. Then use an easy rocking motion. First, pull your
tiller backward. Then use an easy rocking motion. Again, pull
your tiller backward. Then let it move forward just a little bit.
Then pull it backward again. This will help you till deeper.
Keep repeating these steps until you’ve tilled an entire row.
Start again on the next row. It’s a lot like running a vacuum.
(Picture 2)
C. YOU CAN EVEN CONTROL DEPTH
For Deeper Tilling:
Move your tiller slowly back and forth, as you would a vacuum
cleaner. Work the same area over and over until you’ve dug to
your desired depth. (Picture 3)
For Shallow Tilling:
Switch the tines to the cultivating position. (See pg. 11 to learn
how) Then move you tiller quickly over your soil surface.
For Big Weeds or Tough Roots:
Let your tiller rock back and forth over the tough spot, until the
tines slice through the weed or root.
D. YOUR MANTIS ELECTRIC TILLER HANDLES SPECIAL TILLING PROJECTS
Want to turn part of your lawn into a colorful flower border?
Your Mantis Electric Tiller makes it easy! Just run your tiller back and forth until the sod begins to break up. Then continue tilling.
Your tiller will chop the clumps of sod until they’re fine. Then, it will work them into the soil. Pretty soon, you’ll have a soft, fresh
planting bed.

Mantis® Classic Electric Tiller Operator’s Manual
Tilling/Cultivating
If your tines get jammed or entangled, turn off the
tiller at once. Remove the obstruction only while the
tiller is unplugged. Never try to remove an obstruction
while the tiller is in the on position or plugged in.
Serious injury can result.
A. HOW ABOUT A FAMILY-SIZE VEGETABLE GARDEN?
Nowadays many gardeners prefer small gardens — especially in the suburbs, where space is at a premium. But, if you’re
fortunate enough to own a large lot, you can create a bigger garden — a half acre or more. Although your Mantis Tiller could
handle the job, the project could be completed faster if you were to hire someone with a tractor or larger tiller to break the ground
for you. This is a one-time-only investment that’s well worth the small cost.
B. YOUR MANTIS ELECTRIC TILLER MAKES WEEDING A PLEASURE!
As a tiller, your Mantis Tiller works the soil down to 10” (25.4 cm) deep. But, as a cultivator, it gently cultivates the surface, only 2”
to 3” (5.09 cm to 7.62 cm) deep.
First, you must switch the tines to the weeding position. This takes less than a minute.
Then, your Mantis Electric Tiller’s sharp “tine teeth” will slice up those pesky weeds, burying them as you go along. And, since the
tines in this position won’t dig too deep, they won’t hurt your plants’ precious root systems.
The result? Your tiller will cut your weeding time in half, and turn a tiresome chore into a pleasure.
C. HOW TO SWITCH FROM TILLING TO CULTIVATING POSITION
1. Make sure your tiller is off and
unplugged.
5. Here is how to make sure you’ve
installed the tines properly. Stand
behind the tiller and hold your hand,
palm up, next to the tines. Do the tine
points curl up, as your fingers do? If
so, they are in the correct cultivating
position. (See photos below)
2. Remove the retaining pins from the
tines.
3. Remove the tines from the axle.
4. Place the right-side tine onto the
left-side axle. Place the left side tine
onto the right-side axle. The “D” hole
should be to the outside.
6. Reinsert the pins.
D. 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!

Remember, any tiller will tangle in tall grass, stringy vines, or

tiller before trying to clear them.

Tilling/Cultivating
E. YOUR MANTIS ELECTRIC TILLER WILL WEED BETWEEN NARROW ROWS!
Your Mantis Electric 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 Electric
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 #6222.)
Troubleshooting
A. WHAT TO DO IF YOUR ELECTRIC TILLER STOPS RUNNING
1. If nothing happens when you squeeze the triggers, make
sure the tiller is plugged in or that the cord is not damaged.
7. Make sure that the circuit breaker hasn’t been tripped at
your power source: whether it’s your house, a generator, or
an outdoor outlet.
2. If it still does not work, unplug the Electric Tiller from the
power source.
3. Inspect the tines to make sure your tines are clear of rocks
or debris. Clear any debris that may be preventing the
tines from spinning.
4. Remove the tines to make sure all of the debris has been
cleared.
5. Check the circuit breaker on the Electric Tiller. Make sure
the button hasn’t popped.
6. If the button has popped, press the button back in. If the
circuit breaker button doesn’t stay in, wait approximately
30 seconds and retry. (Picture 1)
Picture 1
B. HOW TO RESEAT THE MOTOR HOUSING
At some point, you may find that the tines won’t turn when you
squeeze the throttle. This may mean the motor isn’t sitting all
the way down on the worm gear housing.
If you’ve followed these steps properly, there will be no gap
between the bottom housing and the worm gear housing.
(Picture 3) Make sure you tighten the housing screws!
Perhaps you’ve been using your tiller for several years. The
housing screw bolt (Key #22) may have come loose and lifted
the motor up.
If this happened you’ll notice a gap between the bottom of
the bottom housing (Key #24) and the top of the worm gear
housing. (Picture 2)
To fix this, loosen the housing screw. Take the motor and
housing off the worm gear housing. Notice the hex head on top
of the drive shaft (Key #21). Inside the bottom housing, you’ll
find the coupler driver (Key #26). Make sure the hex head lines
up with the coupler driver inside the bottom housing.
Then put the motor back on the worm gear housing.

Troubleshooting
C. THE TINES DON’T SEEM TO DIG LIKE THEY USED TO
If the tines are not performing as they did when you first bought
the tiller, inspect them for excessive wear. If they are worn, you
can order a new pair.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
To keep your Mantis Electric Tiller running as
efficiently 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.
To order replacement Tines Contact your local authorized
Mantis dealer or call 1-800-366-6268.
Maintenance
A. HOW TO CHECK THE GREASE LEVEL INSIDE THE WORM GEAR HOUSING
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 overfill. Too much grease can create pressure,
which could cause seals to fail or the clutch to slip.
Picture 1
Picture 2
Storage
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.
Picture 3
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.
Always make sure the handle knobs are secure
before starting your mantis tiller.
