    The amount of CYA language in the manual is fucking astonishing.

    The whole thing is apparently one big version of those stickers you see on the back of work trucks saying they aren't responsible for damage caused by unsecured loads flying out of the back of their vehicle.

    It would get you drummed out of court if you ever tried to argue it wasn't a completely hollow threat, but apparently that completely hollow threat is effective enough to justify their existence.

    Is the first page of the manual just "your problem now, sucker!"
