[OM] Buying a used F280 flash

Is there anything special I should be aware of when buying a used F280
flash? I am dealing with a very reputable photo dealer and I have
confidence in his honesty. I have done business with him before with no
problems. In fact he is bringing in two used F280s for me to try.

I intend checking both of them with a flash meter [Sekonic L508 zoom]
against the rated guide number output [28 meters @ 100 ISO ?] and will
ensure that they are in good shape cosmetically.

I doubt they will come with an instruction manual. Is anyone aware of an
online source .....pdf file perhaps ......where I can get a copy of the
manual. Also, can the F280 be used off camera and if so is the
connecting cord to the hot shoe expensive and / or hard to locate?

Thanks
