informative manual

By Kevin R. on Oct 14, 2023
When I first opened the book? I went right to the 410 loads and was disappointed there wasn't much there. I was thinking well, that was a waste of money. Then I started reading the rest of the book, and found a lot of Valuable and Interesting information. I'm happy with my purchase.
