If you don't want to transfer the class files (and any dependencies) over
to the agent host, which is what I was suggesting here then perhaps you can
get your desired behaviour using a custom fact.
Assuming that you have facter.dot.d installed (usually from stdlib) do
something like:
$ echo 'run_manual: false' >> /etc/facter/facter.d/custom.yaml
And then check this fact before including your manual class in your node
config, something like:
if $run_manual {
include manual
}
Then when you do want to apply the class then change the fact value to true
and do a onetime Puppet run.
Details above might be slightly off as I am not in from of a computer but
you get the idea.
