    In The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance it says “Assembly of Japanese bicycles requires great peace of mind.”

    Instruction manuals are merely the manufacturer’s opinion as to how things should go together and work.

    Anymore they are low quality depictions of diagrams of pieces that if you think they look like parts you opened in your box then you decide if they’re showing this piece should fit here or if you need the longer ones. You look at the picture on the box and it’s better than the diagrams in your instruction manual. Eventually you end up with extra parts or you are missing key pieces. After all of that you realize the instructions have been written just to mess with your patience and to throw it all away.

    If the thing to be assembled is made of wood, DO NOT USE POWER TOOLS should be on the top line.

    I guess it’s my experience and education/training, but I read the manual before taking anything out of the box. And read it again before plugging it in if required. We keep the manuals filed and always ready to refer to in case of any difficulty with the product. YMMV.

    C’mon now – “real men” don’t read instruction manuals!

    Of course, after screwing up too many projects and costing myself time and money, like Teto85 (above) I take the manual seriously… to the point that I don’t throw old manuals away – lol I still have manuals to stuff that was thrown away years ago!
