Hammers!
* Never strike a hammer against a hardened object (that's ok)... such as 'another' hammer
- oh god!

* protect bystander with approved eye protection!
- so their tears don't drop to ground and make you slip when you hit'em in the teeth ah? slipping on the ground may cause serious injury or death. willie g is not responsible for that!

Gaskets!
* always discard gaskets after removal, replace with new gaskets, never use the gasket twice...."and give us more money for nothing you fool!"

Disassembly and Assembly
* Always assemble or disasseble one part at a time. Do not work on two assemblies simultaneously.
- i think here the author is talking to the robots at the factory. Anyone out there who can change the tire and adjust the clutch simultaneously?

1.4 Wiring, Hoses and Lines
Hoses, clamps, electrical wiring, electrical switches or fuel lines if they do not meet specifications.
- you life your job your family if they do not meet specifications!! get english learn school pleasse

1.2 General
Removing Parts
* Always consider the weight of a part when lifting (think of considering yourself) use a hoist when necessary (ok?). do not lift heavy parts by hand
- pretty much speechly about this.

1.6 storage units
* Do not open more than one loaded drawer at a time. close each drawer before opening another to prevent the cabinet from unexpectedly tipping over.
- our cabinets are made in ancient china and are designed by aborigines (hey no offence taken). they'll tip over anyway

 

I guess common sense is a rare commodity.... or...they had the lawyers write it.

 

Both are true , but in the case of the MoCo.... i would lean towards the latter

 

Unfortunately CYA is a major concern in any endeavor these days. It is not "should I sue?" it is "can I sue?". You have to try and write any instructions so that Larry, Curley and Moe cannot hurt themselves and as we know that is impossible.
