Patrick,

You are totally missing the point. It is NOT that a dealer will not provide a manual (although it is up to them, I strongly agree that SPF LLC should provide one) but that purchasing one and then copying/PDFing it to disburse to other customers is circumventing the I.P. rights of the people who put substantial time and effort into creating it.

Try scanning and posting a current best-selling book and see how that goes with the publisher........
