M ain tenance 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).
M ain tenance ...con tinued... 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.
What T o Do If Y our 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.
S torage Each fall - or before you store your Mantis Edger for any long period - be sure to take these measures: 1. Do not store your Edger with fuel still in it. Even under ideal conditions, stored fuel containing ethanol or MTBE can start to go stale in 30 days.
S torage ...con tinued... 10. Order new parts to replace any that are badly worn or broken. Just contact your local authorized Mantis dealer . But do it early , so you’ll have the parts well before the next season. 11. Store your Edger - in an upright position - in a clean, dry place (Picture 1, previous page).
