SUBJECT: Supplements - First Edition V-4 Series Service Manual.

It is plainly evident, as indicated by our present inventory of V4 series Service Manual Supplements, that many dealers have First Edition V-4 Manuals which are not up to date.

You should be making the most of your V-4 Service Manual. As you know, your Service Manual contains numerous illustrations and considerable text relating to the basic fundamentals of the Johnson V-4 construction, operating characteristics and over-all maintenance - the type of information which is a must to efficiently carry on your service activity.

FIRST - If you now have the Second Edition V-4 Series Service Manual you are in good shape and need not be too concerned with this bulletin.

NOW - For those of you that have the First Edition V-4 Series Manual. By making the following simple checks you can determine if you require supplements to bring your manual up to date.

1. If your manual does not include page 100-1 you require the 60SV-1960 supplement.
2. If your manual does not include page 28-7 you require the 61SV-1961 supplement.
3. If your manual does not include page 122-23 you require the 6263SV-1962-63 supplement.

For your convenience there is an order blank included. NOTE: If it is found that supplements are required and ordered, insert the pages in your manual starting with the first supplement (1960) then 1961 followed by the 1962-63 pages. You will note that each supplement might contain some of the same page numbers. However, the pages of the last supplement (1962-63) are the latest information and should be the ones retained.
