The printable versions are still being made. Every one of them already exists as a full guide you can read now.

Five printable guides are in preparation: site preparation, capacity and reach, lift day, HVAC placement and lift planning. None of the files is finished, so none is linked. Each entry points instead to the complete web guide, which is available to read and print today.

Printable Guides In Preparation

Five printable guides are being produced. None of them is finished, so none of them is linked as a file. Publishing a download button that leads to a missing file is worse than saying plainly that it is not ready.

Every one of these already exists as a complete guide on this site. You can read it now, and your browser will print it perfectly well in the meantime.
