Bikes: 2012 Trek Fuel EX6, 2012 Cannondale Synapse C3 (Ultegra)

Picked up the bike. I've got my torque wrenches and my carbon paste. Had a few more questions.

When you pick up a new bike, do you expect to get the manuals and instructions for all the components? I received the basic manual on the bike, but nothing for the Ultegra components, the FSA Crankset, or the DT Swiss wheels and hubs. I've collected some documentation off the manufacturer's websites, but most of this is 2012 and most sites have their 2013 stuff out now. I'd like to get the manufacture's info on recommended maintenance, operating instructions etc. Is it typical to have to run around and collect all this information? I bought a Giant Road bike off of Amazon a year ago and it came with those sheets in the box, is that not typical? Does the LBS just not usually give them out with the bike or did they just forget to give them to me or are they not included?

I'm having a particularly hard time locating any info on my DT Swiss RR1600 Rims and Hubs. There is no mention of them on the DT Swiss website. I have found some type of similar models. These are the ratchet system attachment and I think they are tool less service hubs which would be nice, but I'd like to see some manuals mention the this model number and give me some specifics. Anyone familiar with these and know where to get information? These are too expensive to be poking around and experimenting.
Thanks,
Dan
