Looking for a Service Manual for a SP 300

Long story but I'm trying to recover both heads from sitting for well over a year without being on. It was not drained of ink or cleaned at all during that time and just about everything has dried or gummed up.

I've done what I can do to clean what I can and next is to start buying replacement parts like dampers and manifolds before buying new heads.

I've been doing head soaks for 4 days now and not one jet has opened back up. I have ink in the dampers and I've got the cap tops (open) working and the pump drawing vacuum because of the clogged lines.

A service manual would come in handy right now..... Thanks

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but I've never heard of heads recovering after that amount of time.
However, if it does work, I would be overjoyed to know that it is possible.
I have one myself that I bought after sitting 6 months and thought the heads to be shot from sitting.
Haven't had it in the budget for new heads yet!
