✅ What makes them “very good”

1. Comprehensive content

   • They cover operating instructions, maintenance schedules, diagnostics, wiring and hydraulic diagrams, etc. For example, one manual lists “battery safety, controls & maintenance, cooling system, electrical component locations … troubleshooting …” for an engine model.

   • They support both the operator side (how to use the machine safely) and the service/repair side (how to maintain & fix it).

   • They include detailed diagrams and schematics.

2. Usability and clarity

   • The manuals allow you to find fault codes and machine data through the company’s diagnostic system LogOn, and they guide users how to interpret those.

   • They are structured to support field use (i.e., in tough conditions) which is important for forestry equipment.

   • They’re supported by training programs, so the technical language is informed by real-field technician needs.

3. Reliability & support culture

   • The manufacturer backs their product with a global dealer network and factory support—so the manuals are part of a broader support ecosystem. 

   • Continuous improvement: the equipment and documents are developed with input from actual field conditions.

🎯 Why this matters

• When you’re working in challenging environments (forestry, remote sites, heavy equipment), having well-written manuals means fewer mistakes, faster troubleshooting, and longer machine life.

• It reduces downtime (which is costly) and helps technicians do the job right the first time.

• It aids training of new operators or service staff—when your documentation is good, onboarding is easier.

• For safety: clear manuals help with safe operation and with minimizing hazards.
