Little Wonder Edger - Manual (Page 14)

Here’s Another Way to Start
Your Mantis Edger
If you follow the previous steps and your
engine still won’t start, try this:
1. Slide the switch to “start.”
2. Push the choke button to open the choke.
3. Press the plastic bubble 5 to 6 times.
4. Give the starter cord a few short, quick
pulls. The engine should start and run.
5. If the engine does not start, then pull out
the choke button to close the choke. Pull the
starter cord four to five times. The engine
should sputter and cough.
6. After the engine sputters, push the choke
button in. Then pull the starter cord. The
engine should start and run.
What To Do Just In Case

7. If the engine still does not start, repeat
steps 2 through 6.
8. If the engine still does not
start, call your local authorized
Mantis Dealer.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Never use starting fluids as
they will cause permanent
engine damage. Using them
will void the engine warranty.
Before you use the edger, read
the Safety & Warning rules on
pages 3-5.
Edging Instructions
The Mantis Edger is very easy and simple
to use. For some people, it may take a few
edgings to become an expert.
Thoroughly inspect the area where the edger is to be used
and remove all stones, sticks, wires, and other foreign
objects.
Adjust blade height (Picture 1). With a new blade,
try the second hole closest to the operator.
With both arms fully extended downward (Picture 2), hold
both handle grips firmly. With the engine running, pull
the throttle trigger to increase engine speed to full throttle.
Always run the engine at full throttle when edging.
If blade is not deep enough, or if digging is too deep,
adjust blade height or slightly raise or lower handles to
suit depth required. (Picture 3). However, it is always more
comfortable and relaxed to have arms fully extended
downward.
