User help

1. Check the fit first. Compare your model and serial number with the coverage shown above. If you are unsure, message us with those details before ordering and we will help you confirm.
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. Work step by step. Read the safety notes for a procedure before you start, follow the stated torque values and sequences, and use the specification and test sections to confirm a fault before replacing parts.
6. Stay safe. Repairs on engines, hydraulics, fuel and electrical systems can be dangerous. Follow the safety instructions in the document, use proper tools and support equipment, and follow local regulations.
