I don't know who / what dealer is telling you that, but Komatsu doesn't have any such policy restricting the sale of manuals. If your local dealer won't sell you a manual I am sure Komatsu would like to hear about it. You can contact their service & warranty department at warranty at komatsuna.com and they will be happy to assist you.
