Burton Snowboards instruction manual

Current reading a book on information graphics and found this interesting piece of work to share with. 
Burton Snowboards created  a products’ instruction manual aiming to be accessible across culturally without language translation. 
This manual have only used pictures and numbers to indicates the use. And only used two main colours: Black used for pieces, red used for instructions (arrows, measurements and sounds effect) and orange used to differentiate the pieces. All steps are structured by circular panels with positive and negative space in alternative, this could be a good way to identify each steps without splitting attention of the viewer. I found the third step in this manual very impressive. It shows the optimum distance between the SlapRatchet and the binding when the foot is in the binding. The x-ray foot and aerial view makes that part more clear of where the wearer should feel the pressure from the strap. In the last step, it used a old fashion comic book style to illustrate the action with sound, bursts and words. Although this is an old style but it demonstrates effectively.
