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 20 pounds. So it lifts easily,
handles smoothly, tills and weeds precisely.
And, unlike other small tillers, it features
serpentine tines that churn soil up 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.
