I spent a few years writing manuals for VFDs and often re-writing manuals that had been written in Taiwan or Korea, then translated directly into English. I wish I could remember all of the hilarious juxtapositions of instructions in those translated ones. One that I do remember though was that the drive in question had a "disable" input that came from the factory with a jumper installed, so if you wanted an external disable command, you removed the jumper and wired a Normally Closed contact to it. In the translated manual, that information was not shown or discussed until you got to the Troubleshooting Section in the back, under "Why will not the drive run?" as one of the possibilities, yet not even the first one! I moved it up to the beginning under a "Things you must know before starting to wire and program this drive" section.
I can assure you that instruction on the parameter programming was the result of some unfortunate learned experience after the manual was originally written, so they slipped it in somewhere they though appropriate.
