Thanks for your quick, and often humorous responses. (It's Monday and laughter-inducing answers are always welcomed!) We are going to go with "User Manual" for brevity and translation considerations. This group rocks!

 Well what if you have more than one user? Then it would have to be "Users' Manual" :)

It's easier to avoid that fuss and just called it "User Manual".

In German they get around this kind of thing by making compound nouns, so you'd have the equivalent of "Usermanual"  (Benutzerhandbuch...?), but English prefers to leave a space.
