WHAT TO DO JUST IN CASE (continued)
GETTING YOUR TILLER TO YOUR GARDEN
Walk it.
Once your tiller is running,
you can “walk” it to your
garden. Just press the throttle
lever gently and let the tiller
“tip-toe” across your yard on its
tines. It won’t hurt your lawn or
driveway. (Picture 1)
Carry It.
Make sure the engine is off.
Then use one hand to grasp the
convenient carrying handle. Use
the other hand to hold the
handlebars. (Picture 2) Then lift
your tiller and carry it to your
garden. Since it weighs only 20
pounds, it won’t strain your
muscles or tire you out!
Take It for a Ride.
You can easily transport your
MANTIS Tiller to a friend’s or
relative’s house. Just empty the
fuel tank. (This is crucial.)
Then stow 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.
WARNING
NEVER CARRY YOUR TILLER
AS THE PERSON IN PICTURE 3
IS DOING. IF YOU DO,
YOU WILL SUFFER
SERIOUS INJURY.
