http://mantis.com/mantis-owners-manuals.aspjust pick out the appropriate one and away you go.as far as starting it goes, make sure the switch is set to "I" and not "O" (top handle.) be sure you have gas in it, pull out the choke knob (front of the tiller) and depress the bubble once. pull the engine cord until the machine tries to start, then push in the choke and pull again - the engine should start within a couple of pulls. let it warm up before you try to do any tilling, and you're good to go!

My mantis tiller ran fine,I put it up for the winter and now it won't start,I checked to see if it was getting gas which it was, could it be the coil? I did check and they say its very rare that the coil goes out.I also check for any type of spark and nothing. Please help!!!! thanks ,Clay
Older mantis 7222E Hedge Trimmer has no spark
You have nothing connected to kill tab on the ignition module? The module is asymmetrical so it can't be installed backwards.Measure coil secondary resistance of both original and new module. I don't have the exact spec and range can vary widely in small 2 stroke.Are there any calendar dates on it... not finding the model as Mantis.Comment for further assistance.
Mantis cultivator when starts at first dies at low idle
Implies carburetor low speed fuel circuit lean. Increase low speed fuel/air.
Initial setting is 1 1/2 turns. Increase idle speed enough to keep the engine runnning so a proper adjustment of the low speed air/fuel mix can be completed.
Basic rules; Always adjust low speed a/f first, then open throttle and adjust high speed a/f. Any low speed adjustment must be followed with a high speed adjust. Error on the rich side for high speed. Allow engine to reach operating temperature for final adjustment.
Other potentual issues, fuel quality, fouled carburetor, old impulse diaphragm (carb), carb to engine intake gasket leak, crankcase leak.
Removing tines makes it easier (safer).
Where is the engine number on mantis tiller an old one
In the Mantis 2-cycle tiller:
SV number is located between the gas tank & the carburetor, behind the gas line, on a black and silver tab on the silver engine housing. It will consist of the letters "SV," a number and another letter.
