Selected
first-line maintenance help instructions
'first-line maintenance' is a term very commonly used in many technical contexts, it meas the sort of simple maintenance tasks that the operator of the machine can usually perform themselves — for a photocopier, cleaning the glass, chainging the toner cartridge, adding paper, removing jams.
2nd-line implies use of an engineer to replace parts etc.
And I presume 3rd line means take it back to the workshop for major repair.

French term (edited):
last part of the sentence (à la maintenance de premier niveau)
first-level maintenance help instructions
Or you could also use "help instructions for/on first-level maintenance".
It's all a matter of putting the words back in the right order. I guess the sentence was not written in a very clear way ;)
I hope this helps!

Although it could be that "first-level" applies to help, not to maintenance... Your context should guide you on this...
