I think most of us have something from HF and had had frustrations and/or chuckles with the manuals.
I may have found the best of the lot with this 'manual' for their tarp grommets.

Ken, at least the grammer and word usage isn't bad, compared with some of the pre-printed instructions!

Re: Harbor Freight Manuals

You have to wonder about their customer base when instructions for using a grommet are needed.
