you can get brand new ones (well, at least very nice photocopies)
from fender - $10 for the user manual, $20 for the service manual
(which also tells you how to do the memory upgrade if you need
it... if you don't use the sequencer you don't need it, if you do
use the sequencer you might want it).

http://www.mrgearhead.net/faq/manuals.html tells how to do it
from them, here's copied info:
