Assembly
Torque specifications may be noted in the part of the text that covers assembly, they may also be summarized in
tables along with special instructions regarding thread locking or lubrication. Whichever method is more appropriate
will be used. In many cases, both will be used so that the manual is handy as a quick-reference guide as well as a
step-by-step procedure guide that does not require the user to hunt for information.
The level of assembly instructions provided will be determined by the complexity and of reassembly, and by the
potential for unsafe conditions to arise from mistakes made in assembly.
Some instructions may refer to other parts of the manual for subsidiary procedures. This avoids repeating the same
procedure two or three times in the manual.
