How to Check the Grease
Level Inside the
Worm Gear Housing
When we built your MANTIS 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 M9985.)
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.
Please do not overfill. Too much
grease can create pressure, which
could cause seals to fail or the clutch
to slip.
Clear Blockages From the
Fuel Line & Filter:
After you’ve used your Tiller for a
few seasons, check for blockages in
the fuel tank and fuel filter. Such
blockages can keep your Tiller from
starting.
Clear any blockages you see in the
tank, fuel filter, or fuel line.
Remember: The fuel filter is located
inside the tank. (See Picture 3) Then
use the normal starting procedure to
start your Tiller.
