Manual types
This manual is a operational principle technical service manual. For reference, the three main manual types:
Service manual
Factory repair procedures and technical information such as specifications, troubleshooting, and wiring and hydraulic diagrams, for the models and systems the manual covers. See What's inside for its topics.
Operator's manual
Safe operation, controls, maintenance schedules, lubrication points, inspections, and basic checks. Repair procedures are in the service manual.
Parts manual
Illustrated diagrams with factory part numbers for identifying components and ordering parts. Repair procedures are in the service manual.
Engine service manuals are sometimes sold separately, since certain machine models were offered with more than one engine option.
What it's used for
Factory manual for in-house farm and construction shop use. Straightforward, complete, and easy to follow. It contains the OEM information dealership service departments and parts counters use to diagnose problems, identify components, and perform maintenance or repairs correctly.
