[edit]Hello Johannsen72,
your recently uploaded files show pages of an owner's manual which is most likey copyright protected. Even though you have taken the photos of these pages, you are not the author of the owner's manual itself, and, therefore, you have not the right to publish these pages / a copy of this manual on Commons under a free licence. Uploading scans/photos of prior copyrighted works is possible if the work is in the public domain. Usually, the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years. Please see Commons:Licensing for further information. Best regards, --Jojhnjoy (talk) 17:00, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
