*Any* document that is supposedly for use by learners or by
technicians in field service should *always* be available (if at all
in paper!) in a lay-flat binding of some sort.

A useful addition to a doc set is for quick reference cards for use by
maintenance folks to be done as plastic sheets that will survive
substantial handling and the occasional smudges of oil, toner, ink, or
what have you. If there are enough of these, it is useful to consider
having them punched for a binder, in fact, for those techs who wish to
organize them in that way.
A second useful technique is for an instruction sheet to be packed
with spare parts, so whomever does a replacement will have it in front
of them when they acquire the needed part. If the part is able to be
recycled, that fact should be noted as part of such an instruction
sheet, IMHO.
