User help

1. Make sure it matches your machine. Look up your model and serial number and year and compare them with the coverage above. Not sure? Send us those details and we will help you check before you buy.
2. Get the file. This is a digital PDF download. Nothing is shipped, so you can start using it as soon as you have the file.
3. Open it anywhere. Use any current PDF reader (Adobe Acrobat Reader, your browser, or a phone or tablet app). Save a copy to your computer and to a backup drive.
4. Jump straight to the section you need. Start from the table of contents or search for a part name, fault code or value, then print just those pages for the workshop.
5. Use the maintenance schedule. Follow the recommended intervals and fluids for routine care, and refer to a workshop service manual for the model when you need to go beyond basic maintenance.
6. Safety first. Work on machinery, fuel and electrical systems carries real risk. Follow the document's safety notes, use suitable tools and supports, and comply with local rules. If a job is beyond your experience, use a qualified technician.
