Perhaps you could try looking here.

I know a lot of people ask dumb questions without googling first, but that is not the issue here. If you look at the results that your search returned, they seem to be all of 3 types:
1) user manual or spec sheet rather than service manual
2) from a search aggregator with irrelevant or broken links
3) from a paid download service that looks sketchy without even offering a preview of the first page of the manual.

If anyone has any personal recommendations for paid archives that offer actual tech/service manuals, I'd be interested.

You are probably going to have to pay for the download, but I agree it will be a difficult choice to make without a preview or at least some sort of sample or guarantee. Maybe someone here will read your post and have what you need. Give it a few weeks, or even a month or two, before giving up. If you do find a usable document, please post a link so others can find it. Most of the pay-to-play sites (such as this $9.95 site) have prices from $8 to $15 for a PDF download. Crap game, I know, but how desperate are you?

maybe desperate enough ...

In looking for reviews, I found an interesting article from Wired about the shady practices that manufacturers use to keep manuals out of our hands. It makes it sound like all of these manual archives operate illegally, so hard to stick around long enough to develop a reputation. https://www.wired.com/2012/11/cease-and-desist-manuals-planned-obsolescence/
