Workshop Manuals which sometimes go under the name of Service or Repair Manuals.
These manuals are designed to show how to repair the mechanical side of the machine. A lot of manufactures no longer put the engine manual in with the workshop manual as different engines were used for the same machine. The engine manual will be a separate manual. The workshop manual will only show how to remove and replace the engine.
Within the section of Workshop Manuals are Electronics Manuals and Testing and Diagnostics Manuals.Parts Manuals show all the parts of the machine in exploded diagrams and their relationship with each other. They have the part numbers to match. (these are not Workshop Manuals) They are used to order parts. The are also very useful when reassembling as they show the relationship of each part and how it goes together.
Operators Manuals are the manual that comes with the machine from new. It will inform you on regular services and quantities of Oil etc: How to operate it, what the levers and buttons do and other settings. It will not show you how to repair it. In some countries you must carry this manual on the machine at all times and the operator must be familiar with it.
