They won't use money on it, translate technical manuals without any technical knowledge is very common, probably a poor chap sitting in his flat doing it for no money.

Honestly - I look at that chart and can't figure out what in the world is going on. Reverse the headings - still makes no sense. Doesn't instill a lot of confidence in any of their specs.

Be prepared on the first major service to make some detailed measurements and record results.

This doesn't speak highly of its proofreaders.

The book was probably written in Hindu first, sent to China to be interpreted, and then "proof-read" in Mexico, before sending off to Ethiopia for final set up and printing... :confused2:

Well I can say I downloaded it from Mahindra using my serial number. Overall the rest of the manual seems pretty good. The language is in proper English unlike some other manuals(Kioti) I have had. Many Indians are very educated and read/write English very well. It does say at the bottom of the page that 4 US quarts equals 1 US gallon. And I do believe they have got the right amounts in the gallon list but someone just divided them by 4 for quarts, So that list is useless if not humorous.

There are multiple languages in India. Back in the day, many Indian graduate students in my department had to communicate with each other in English -- they didn't understand the others' native languages.
