Scary Manuals!
Just picked up a new HD and read through the manuals, both owner and service. I was amazed at the number of ways a person could cause himself Death or Serious Injury. What have I gotten myself into???
Who needs assisted suicide? Just get a Harley and DON'T READ THE MANUAL!!

All manuals are that way. Even a torque wrench has many warnings from putting your eye out to electrocuting yourself.
Have you ever read all the labels on a step ladder?
This has been going on for decades now. Where have you had your head stuck in?

Yes, 4X4, I realize that. I've been reading manuals for about 5 decades now and have seen the changes over the last half-century. To help you understand my post, get a dictionary and look up "irony".

Haha yeah I notice all the warnings also when looking at a new manual. Buy a gun recently? I just bought a lever action .22 and the manual was 18 pages.
12 pages were warnings all causing injury, serious injury or death. These are the first pages of the book. Followed by:
3 pages were on actually operating the gun (loading, unloading, shooting, tear down)
1 page was trouble-shooting problems
2 pages were on ordering replacement parts and warranty information.
That's what happens when Lawyers rule the world...
