Clean inside blade cover of any built- up dirt. Loose Blade Follow steps 1 and 2 of Blade Replacement and tighten nut clockwise. Lubrication of Gears There is usually sufficient grease to last at least 4 years or 100 hours of domestic use before topping it up. The grease in the gear case should be filled up according to use by adding light, free-flowing grease (available from Mantis, P/N #9985) through screw hole marked “fill” (Picture 4). Use a suitable filling gun or squeeze grease pack. Remove screw marked “bleed.” Squeeze in 3-4 pumps of grease, until it comes out of the bleed hole. Refit fill screw. NOTE: Do not use light or heavy gear oil as it might leak out. If gear case shows leakage, tighten all screws or replace O-ring. Refill casing.

Picture 4 Maintenance Check the Air Filter Often A wet or dirty air filter can affect the way your engine starts, performs, and wears. So, it’s a good idea to check your air filter at least once a month. If you work in dusty soil, or if you want to be on the safe side - then check your filter more often (for instance, before each use). But be sure to replace it at least once a year, in the spring or fall. Clean or change it as needed. It is recommended to change the air filter yearly. How to Check, Clean, and Change the Air Filter 1. Loosen the wing nut on the side of the air-cleaner cover (Picture 1). 2. Take off the cover. Make sure to clear the choke button (Picture 2). 3. The air filter is the felt pad on the inside of the air-cleaner cover. Check whether it is soiled or moist. 4. If the air filter needs cleaning or no longer fits properly, remove it. Just lift an edge carefully and “peel” it out (Picture 3). 5. Use a brush to remove debris from the pad. 6. If the air filter is so dirty that it won’t come clean, you must replace it or severe engine damage will occur. Contact your local authorized Mantis dealer. IMPORTANT! Make sure filter is “seated” properly in the cover. The filter must fit snugly inside the rim that holds the filter into place. 7. Insert your clean filter inside the air-cleaner cover. Installing the filter incorrectly will cause engine damage and void the warranty. Fit the cover back over the air cleaner (Again, make sure to clear the choke button). 8. Tighten the wing nut to secure the cover. Picture 1 Picture 2 Picture 3 IMPORTANT NOTE: Please check the lip on the Air Cleaner Cover. If the lip is chipped or cracked, it should be replaced. This will prevent dirt from being ingested through the carburetor into the inside of the engine. Maintenance ...continued... Clear Blockages From the Fuel Line and Filter After you’ve used your Edger for a few seasons, check for blockages in the fuel tank and fuel filter. Such blockages can keep your Edger from starting. Clear any blockages you see in the tank, fuel filter, or fuel line. Remember: The fuel filter is located inside the tank (Picture 1). Then, use the normal starting procedure to start your Edger. What To Do If Your Engine Idles Too High What if your engine runs too fast...or if the blades turn the instant you start the Edger? You may need to adjust the idle screw ( Picture 2, or Key #25 under “Carburetor” on page 28) by itself, right below the H and L screws. Gently turn it counter-clockwise. You’ll know you’ve adjusted it correctly when the blade does not turn at low idle. If you continue to have idle problems, you may need to adjust the throttle cable. First, locate the metal triangle at the end of the throttle cable (Picture 2). The idle screw must touch this triangle. But, if the throttle cable’s too tight, you’ll see a gap between the idle screw and the triangle. To fix this, loosen the top nut that holds the throttle cable in place (Picture 3) (Use a 10mm wrench or an adjustable wrench). Then, slide the cable down until you close the gap between the triangle and the idle screw (Picture 4). Now, tighten the bottom nut that holds the throttle cable. Locate the metal “button” on the triangle. This is the swivel. The large end of the throttle cable must be inside the slot in this swivel (Picture 4).

What To Do If Your Engine Runs “Rough” If your engine runs “rough” or stalls, you may need to adjust the carburetor and idle screws. If you remove the air-cleaner cover, you’ll see the two carburetor adjustment screws, next to the black choke button. The “RED” screw is the HIGH-speed adjust- ment...The “WHITE” screw is the low speed adjustment. Start the engine and let it run for two to three minutes. “FLASH” the choke several times during the warm-up to clear any air from the fuel system. Then, stop the engine after it reaches operating temperature. Now, turn the RED, high-speed screw count- er-clockwise all the way to the stop...Then, turn the WHITE, low-speed screw halfway between the co...
