The manual from Scribd seems to work, but there are a lot of advertising breaks and after the breaks pages are very slow to load. I only had patience to check the first 30 pages.
I looked for a downloadable and free version but found none. A commercial download of the service manual is available here at $9.90 and the parts catalog here at $1.20.

There are sites which can download pdfs from scribd. This one for example.
The lubrication section starts on page 161. The carriage rail needs a little under 2g of Epson G-97 grease which looks like it is white lithium based probably lower viscosity than typical and possibly with added PTFE.
There is a diagram showing where on the rail it needs to go, but, not much useful instruction on how to put it there.
