Information about the repair manuals are as follows. You will need to download all the files in order to install and utilize then on your pc. As far as im aware the will only work on non MAC/OS systems.

The parts manuals are just that, parts manuals. It would appear they are scanned copies of the manuals listing all available part numbers and descriptions, most times they also have a pictoral diagram associated with each grouping of parts to aid in part identification.

Notice! Some people are reporting problems installing the repair manuals. My suggestion is to unpack all the files to a single folder on your hard drive and then run the install locally. This will save you some cds and make installing the software work without producing any errors.
