lbc,

I would be tend to stay away from the DVD versions of the manuals most likely they are not legal copies. I would first check with your local Hyster dealer and see if the manual is still available from them. This is the legal way to get it.
As far as the paper manuals I have heard both ways that if they were purchased by someone then they in turn can sell them. I would go this way if the manual is no longer available from the OEM dealer.
And yes people can not send out the complete manual to you but they can send you sections of it.
The other option is to post issues you are having with the truck and there are a lot of seasoned tech's that read this forum and will give you advise.
You will get more correct answers if you post a serial number of the unit as well. On you unit I am not sure where the serial number is if the data plate is missing.
