When I had a set the manual could be found on the Manitou website. Here:

Dead easy. Basically the same as current RS forks. The damper rod under the rebound adjuster is a REVERSE thread.

I think a service manual can be found on the Enduroforkseals website, they have them for most other Manitou forks. TPC should probably be easier than the Snap/Absolute systems.
