Many Thanks to fellow FAV owners Matt and Jim for supplying these original manuals. These are for the first series FAV.

Shop Maintenance and Repair Manual for the Surrogate Fast Attack Vehicle

Here is a great new manual donated by a fellow FAV owner, Harley. Make sure you read page 4, Maximum Foreseeable Loss. Don't drive your FAV off a high cliff and land on a big rock!

Another doc from Harley. With over 200 pages, it is a wealth of information. The FAV section starts on page 76. This is the only document I have found that actually designates the FAV as XM1040 AND XM1041.
