Somehow I have owned dozens of cars, hundreds of guns, countless motorized off road vehicles and tons of other equipment that came with a manual and they have all worked for me and I haven't read one manual.
Is there something in there I need to know?
Read your manual to find out..
Many times, rather than being either stupid or lazy, they have far too much "experience" and/or "basic understanding of how mechanical things work" to have the need to consult with a manual.
Yeah - like the guy who has a Rem 870 express in .410.. And he sez "every time I take it apart and put it back together I can't work the action and shells won't feed from the magazine."
Of course he was TOO SMART to READ THE MANUAL on proper reassembly.. Didn't KNOW he had to push back on the RH feed latch before the left when replacing the bolt/action arms.. He's lucky he didn't break off the tip..
(sigh)..
