Instruction manuals are going to be translated and they're hopefully verbose such as to be explicit.

One area where Spanish is more dense is verb forms, because it retains most of the inflected verbs of Latin, whereas English has lost or merged together a lot of the historical Indo-European inflections. Speaking intuitively, I think it, like most Latin languages, tends to be a bit more verbose with noun phrases.
