Usually things like that are warned about by saying something like, 'insure all pressure is released from system before working on it's. Whether the person doing the repair understands the warning is a different story..LOL.
That aside the worst thing I have seen omitted from a manual is when Ford doesn't bother to include the fact that the Simms injection pumps on some of their engines need to have the oil in them checked and changed as they are separate from the engine. I've got an OEM manual and there isn't a peep about checking these pumps in it.
I know I found he one on the 3500 I've got dry as a bone shortly after I got it. Based on what I was told by the guy I got it from (after he inherited it from a friend, who passed, that had bought it new), the oil in the pump had never even been checked....because the guy didn't know he needed to.
I know that's not exactly what you were looking for,but it's the worst omission of pertinent information I know of from a factory manual.
