Help / FAQS




In what format are the manuals?

All manuals are in Adobe Acrobat file format, which is usually already installed on most computers. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer, check http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html for a free download of Adobe Acrobat Reader, which will allow you to view the files. Also, when more than one manual is included in the item, the files will be zipped (compressed). Once they are downloaded to your computer, they can be unzipped using the built in zip utility included in Windows XP / Vista. If you are using an earlier version of Windows, a free zip utility is available from 7-zip (does not contain spyware).


What is the service manual ordering procedure, and how will I get my manual after payment is made?

When making payment (through our payment processor - PayPal), you will enter an email address. This is the email address to which your Receipt email containing the download link / username / password will be sent. This email is automatically sent by our system immediately upon confirmation of payment - typically this occurs within 5 minutes of payment. If, for some reason, you can not access that email account to receive the email from us, or the Receipt email has not arrived within 1 hour, please and we will resend the Receipt email.


Using your search engine, I can't seem to find what I am looking for.

The best way to locate your manual is to enter the first few characters of the model number (you may also include the manufacturers name to narrow down the results). This is the best method to locate your manual. If you want to enter the complete model number, enter exactly as listed on the machine (including hyphens).


What payment processors do you use?

Currently, we only have PayPal integrated into the site, which allows for automatic downloads once payment is received. Through PayPal, we accept VISA, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, and eChecks. We will be adding other payment processors in the future.


Do I need to sign up for an account with www.service-manual.net to order a manual?

Is your checkout system secure?

Do I need a PayPal account to order a manual?

I am using dialup internet. Can I still purchase and download a manual?

Yes, but please take into consideration the file size when making your decision to purchase - files larger than 5 MB will take some time to download, due to the limitations of dialup internet. For larger files, consider a free download manager, which should speed up the process and help to resume downloads when your internet connection is interrupted.
