Hi all,
I've just acquired a 14year old but totally unused Mantis Tiller (rotovator).
Problem is that there are no instructions with it :(
Can anyone give me any idea of what fuel to use and how to work the controlls? It has two controls on the right hand handle. One is a small red switch and the other is like a bicycle brake lever.
I've got a patch of land about 8m by 3m that I want to clear quickly, it's weed free so I'm not worried about breaking up and spreading roots, but I can't dig it as I've damaged my back.
Very grateful for any advice that anyone can offer!
Mantis have a web-page with instruction sheets on it, in pdf form.
Wasn't sure whether your rotovator is a 2-stroke or a 4stroke, but they're both on there.

Hope this helps. :)
If it's that vintage, 2 stroke?
It's been many a long year since I owned my scooter (2-stroke, obviously, since I'm definitely vintage ;D ), so I couldn't even remember what it all meant! :o
I've also found a page which has a list of tiller instruction manual downloads (again as pdfs).

Try just pumping the model number into Google. You'll be surprised what comes up.
I have the same model. Give me a shout if you have a problem.
