I am going to ramble about so much garbage.

Some of it will be mechanical, some of it electronic, some of it will be software, and most of it will be of little interest to anyone; but here it is all the same.

The manual transcription fuckery continues...

Having to translate wacky-ass units to modern equivalence (Who the fuck uses kg-f/cm² for pressure these days?) and finding more mangled unit conversions/off by 10/100 errors.

If the normal operating range is 2.46kg/cm² to 3.87kg/cm² (35 to 55psi), how can the low pressure warning be 6.3kg/cm² (listed as 9psi)? That's not how numbers work!

I'm putting that one on the shelf alongside the fuel consumption specification mangling that gives my truck 35.4km/litre fuel efficiency as a conversion from 10mpg (imperial).

I assure you, it will not manage that. (That's less than 3l/100km. From an 8 tonne truck with a 4.9 litre gasolene engine from the 70s? Dream on.)
