Bastiaan,
.PDF files are Adobe's Portable Document Format file format. You need an
"Acrobat" reader in order to read the files; unfortunately, there isn't one
for DOS that will read the current file format. Adobe used to have "ACRODOS"
reader, but I haven't had much luck using that lately with the latest .PDF
files.
The readers are free, and can be obtained from the Adobe website,
www.adobe.com.
Adobe also has a free service in which they will convert a .PDF file to a
text file and e-mail it to you if you send them the file or the web site
where the file is located, but I don't remember the address to send the
request. That doesn't help if you are interested in the images and wiring
diagrams.
Hope this helps.

images and an electronics diagram...
