There may be a pre-installation guide, for the purchaser of a system
which needs foundation and facilities prior to delivery and installation.

There may also be an installation guide/manual; This could be for your
installation team, or a contractor, or for the customer to use in
installing the machine/system.

Then there are the programming manual, maintenance manual (quite
different than the service manual), and so forth...

So- ya kind of ought to specify 'what the manual is and who it is for'?

- oh, yes- also an Operator Manual / User Guide / whatever you call it.

cheers
Jay
