Unless someone else already did the work for you, you'll probably have to write a ROS driver for this device.

Luckily the manual you linked has this to say about the SDK:

SDK is mainly used to develop applications of this LiDAR on Linux system by using C/C++, [..]

so Linux support seems to be ok (or at least: the SDK is usable on Linux).

If the device is more like a Laser Scanner (ie: outputs something akin to scans), you could perhaps use the Velodyne drivers as inspiration.

If it's more like a "traditional" 3D depth camera (ie: outputs point clouds directly), then it might perhaps make more sense to look at the ROS drivers for various depth cameras.
