How to Open Your Manual File on Windows

If you’ve downloaded a manual from Repairs Advisor, here’s a detailed guide to help you open and use the file on Windows. Manuals are typically provided in PDF format, so you’ll need a PDF reader to access them.

Step 1: Download the Manual

  • Open the order confirmation email from Repairs Advisor.
  • Click on the “Download Now” link provided in the email.
  • The file will be saved to your Downloads folder by default, unless you choose a different location.

Step 2: Locate the Manual File

  • Open the File Explorer by pressing Windows + E on your keyboard.
  • On the left-hand menu, select Downloads.
  • Look for the file with a name matching your manual (e.g., "John_Deere_TM1190.pdf").

Step 3: Open the Manual

Using the Built-In PDF Reader:

  • Double-click the file. Windows will open the PDF with the default PDF viewer.
  • You can scroll, zoom, and search the content within the file easily.

Using Dedicated Software:

For advanced features like annotations, highlighting, or filling forms, install Adobe Acrobat Reader:

  • Go to the Adobe Acrobat Reader website.
  • Click Download Acrobat Reader and follow the instructions to install it.
  • After installation, right-click on the file, select Open with, and choose Adobe Acrobat Reader.
