MANTIS dELUXE XP TILLER STORAGE
®
Never store the equipment with
petrol in the tank inside a building
where fumes can accumulate and
reach an open flame or spark
Each autumn, or before you store your
Mantis Deluxe XP 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 carburettor, 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 carburettor. Then,
Contact us at www.mantis.uk.com or your local authorised Mantis
run the engine until it stops. This will
prevent gum deposits, forming inside
of the carburettor 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 NGK CMR6A.
5. Install the spark plug, but leave the
spark plug wire disconnected.
6. Clean the air filter as directed in your
4-Stroke Engine Manual.
7. Wipe the tines with oil or spray them
with WD-40, to prevent rusting.
8. Oil the throttle cable and all visible
moving parts. (Do not remove the
engine cover.)
9. Check the grease level in the worm
gear housing as described on page 19.

10. Store your tiller in an upright position
in a clean, dry place. You can store
with the handles in an extended
position (Figure 1) or folded down
(Figure 2).
To fold the handles down, simply
loosen the lower 2-pronged knobs
until you can pivot the upper handles
down.
11. To fold the handles, follow these
easy steps: Loosen the handle knobs
(#40) then fold the handles forward.
Tighten knob securely. Your handles
are now folded and ready to store in
a smaller area.
12. Do you have fuel left over from last
season? Dispose of it properly. Buy
fresh oil and petrol next season.
13. Remove tilling tines or attachments
and lightly oil tine shaft at least once
a year.
IMPORTANT:
It is important to store your
Mantis
upright position. Laying the Tiller
on its side will cause the oil to
leak out of the engine through the
air cleaner case.
IMPORTANT:
Avoid any orientation that places
the top cover (engine head)
down -this may allow oil from the
crankcase to enter the combustion
chamber and cause hard starting
or a locked piston.
