A good user manual

The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of MTD 230, S230, 240, S240, 250, S250, 260, S260, 261, S261, along with an item. The lack of an instruction or false information given to customer shall constitute grounds to apply for a complaint because of nonconformity of goods with the contract. In accordance with the law, a customer can receive an instruction in non-paper form; lately graphic and electronic forms of the manuals, as well as instructional videos have been majorly used. A necessary precondition for this is the unmistakable, legible character of an instruction.

An instruction's purpose is to teach, to ease the start-up and an item's use or performance of certain activities.

Unfortunately, only a few customers devote their time to read an instruction of MTD 230, S230, 240, S240, 250, S250, 260, S260, 261, S261. A good user manual introduces us to a number of additional functionalities of the purchased item, and also helps us to avoid the formation of most of the defects.

What should a perfect user manual contain?

First and foremost, an user manual of MTD 230, S230, 240, S240, 250, S250, 260, S260, 261, S261 should contain:

- name of the manufacturer and a year of construction of the MTD 230, S230, 240, S240, 250, S250, 260, S260, 261, S261 item

Unfortunately, networking and start-up of MTD 230, S230, 240, S240, 250, S250, 260, S260, 261, S261 alone are not enough. An instruction contains a number of clues concerning respective functionalities, safety rules, maintenance methods (what means should be used), eventual defects of MTD 230, S230, 240, S240, 250, S250, 260, S260, 261, S261, and methods of problem resolution.
