Le illustrazioni e le descrizioni fornite sul presente manuale sono da intendersi non impegnative.
The original translation says "not definitive" but I my mind I think it should say that they have been provided as an example. Any ideas as my mind is blank today (don't know why!!)

I have often seen and used this to say "non impegnativo" in this kind of sentence. I personally wouldn't use binding here, it's way too 'legalese'

this gives the idea that the illustrations are not exact, and I agree with Claudia that 'binding' does not quite fit into this context

illustrative only
If you use the word(s) 'drawings/diagrams' instead of illustrations you could say 'the drawings/diagrams and descriptions are illustrative only'
