In this context, I would go with warnings. A warning here describes a
specific type of object (a notice), a unit if you will, as opposed to the
more generic idea of "An intimation, threat, or sign of impending danger or
evil" (from dictionary.com).

I'm having trouble with my sentence mechanics. Are there any grammaticians
out there who can weigh in on this?

Which of these is correct:
There are five notice types used in this manual: three types of warning, a
caution, and a note.
