Table Of Contents - Mantis Tiller Owner's Manual

Welcome to the World of
Mantis Gardening
Here's your new MANTIS Tiller . . .
the lightweight wonder that's Changing
the Way Americans Garden.
Unlike big tillers, your MANTIS Tiller
weighs only 24 pounds. So it lifts
easily, handles smoothly, tills and
weeds precisely. And, unlike other
small tillers, it features serpentine tines
that churn soil to ten inches deep. It
creates a soft, smooth seed bed, even
in problem soil.
Once you know how to use your tiller
correctly, we guarantee you'll love it.
So first, please read this manual. It
shows, step by step, how to use your
tiller safely. Plus, it shows how the
MANTIS Border Edger can make light
work of your edging needs.
