818R Supplemental instructions (https://www.factoryfive.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/818R-Supplemental-instructions.pdf) - Revision A: 12/5/2014


Moderators - I've included links to download updates since they are not available for purchase. Please remove them or instruct me to do so, if desired.

[Frank818]

I have the 1F full and then updates from there on.

[Evan78]

If anyone has the 1E and 1G updates, I'd love to get a copy. Links preferred so anyone can get them.

[pwnoz]

Edit: Whoops, posted the whole 1G manual. Not sure if I have just the update or not.

[Evan78]

Joe Scott at FFR informed me that the 1E update got rolled into 1F and he sent me the 1G update PDF, so I'm all up to date now.

[MrDude_1]

Newest revision is I.....
I only know this because i found the manual on the ffr websitr and read it.....
I had no idea i was supposed to pay for it...lol

I guess i owe them $9.99 now.... will call them on Monday to pay and tell them where they have it....


Id link but i probably shouldn't.

[billjr212]

To keep this as the 1 stop shop/complete thread, the 1J update and full version have been available since September, it appears.

Update 1J: https://www.factoryfive.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/818_Manual_rev-1J-update.pdf

[Tamra]

Thanks for the link! We brought our kit home in October and didn't get any of the updates.

[billjr212]

There were also very minor 1L and 1M updates in November (wiring tips)

Update 1L: https://www.factoryfive.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/818_Manual_rev-1L-update.pdf
Update 1M: https://www.factoryfive.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/818_Manual_rev-1M-update.pdf

I'm not seeing a 1K.

[billjr212]

Tamra - which version of the Manual was included with your kit? Mine was an early September build date and I got version 1i with it. (meaning all the updates through 1i are included with the manual, so you don't need the little separate update packages)

[Tamra]

I think we got version 1i, but I can double check tonight.

[Hindsight]

J was automatically e-mailed to me. It contained only the changed parts.

[RM1SepEx]

I was emailed the update in September but did not get the two smaller revisions :(

[FFRSpec72]

There is also the "818R Supplemental Instructions" update A which can be found at https://www.factoryfive.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/818R-Supplemental-instructions.pdf

[AZPete]

Thanks, Billjr212. I've downloaded the 1L and 1M updates since they had not been sent to me by Factory Five.
Yes, there should be a way we can get the Full Manual when it is revised because at least one update didn't include all revisions - that cost me $300 because I bought the wrong front tires. Please, FFR find a way.

[DodgyTim]

Thanks FFRSpec72 I was missing the 818R Supplement Instructions

So now I have a Full Manual Rev H
+update Rev 1 i
+update Rev 1 j
+update Rev 1 l
+update Rev 1 m
+818 R supplement

Has anyone got update Rev 1 k?
Is there a full manual version after Rev H? Its rather confusing trying to slot the new bits into the H manual.
Cheers
Tim

[billjr212]

since FFR sells the electronic version of the full manual, best for you to ask them directly if you want an updated full version so nobody steps on any copyright issues.

[metros]

You guys that are getting the updates emailed to you should be thankful. I've called and asked once and emailed once to get those email updates and still haven't gotten one. Yes, I check the spam filter regularly as well.

[DodgyTim]

I'd pay the $10 again to get one complete, up to date manual, but there isn't any detail on the FFR parts website as to what version is the currently downloadable.

[Evan78]

I used to get email updates, but didn't get notified of the J, L and M updates. I can confirm that PDF versions of the full manual are available up through the M revision, but I don't know if it would be acceptable to publish them here. If you want those, I suggest contacting FFR.

I've updated the 1st post to reflect revisions J, L and M.

[Mad Dog]

If you are not receiving the manual updates, please e-mail me at webmaster@factoryfive.com and I will make sure your e-mail is on the list.

[Evan78]

Thanks Dave, just sent you an email.

I just added update 1O to the 1st post.

[Evan78]

Added outline of changes in 1N and 1O.

[chedda]

Rev 1o cannot be found :(

[Evan78]

Rev 1o cannot be found :(I found all of the updates by browsing the monthly upload folders since they had directory file listing turned on. For example, you could see all files for March 2015 by going to https://www.factoryfive.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/. It looks like someone turned off that ability, so we'll have to use another method.

Yes, I noticed that. I assumed the url would be: the above plus "/818-Manual-rev-1O-update.pdf", but alas that does not work.

JeffI had a working link along those lines, but it must have been moved. I didn't mention my method previously since they often also had complete manuals in those folders.
