I noticed you are still asking for the manual. Sorry, it was the second link. Here is a quote from the manual on how to setup the air in your fork.
"MEASURING SAG (the amount your suspension compresses due to the
weight of your body when in a natural riding position)
To measure sag, you’ll need a tape measure, a pencil, a piece of paper and a helper.
1. Measure the distance from the front axle’s centerline to the bottom of the
crown when no one is sitting on the bike and write down this measurement.
(Remember the exact locations of the two points because you’ll need to use
them later.)
2. Have the rider sit on the bike and measure the distance between the same two
points as in step one. It is important to be in the normal riding position
(weight centered) with your feet on the pedals.
3. Subtract the second measurement from the first. The resulting measurement
is the static sag (see Table 3).
4. On coil forks with preload adjusters, turning the knob clockwise increases
spring preload and decreases sag, while turning the knob counterclockwise
decreases spring preload and increases sag.
5. On air forks, remove the Schrader air cap located on the top or on the bottom
of the left leg and, using a dedicated shock pump (Manitou part #85-4162),
inflate the fork with the desired pressure. Be aware that sometimes air
systems lose a small amount of pressure when the pump is removed, so you
may want to check exactly how much your pump loses by reinstalling it after
you have set and checked the pressure.
When setting sag on forks featuring IT (Infinite Travel) technology, see
“ADJUSTING MAIN SPRING AIR PRESSURE” below.
6. If adjusting the preload or air pressure does not provide the proper sag, you
may require a new ride kit. Please see recommended ride kits below.
ADJUSTING MAIN SPRING AIR PRESSURE
Remove the air cap located on either the top (MARS Air, ACT Air) or bottom
(IT Air Spring; Noble Air) of the left fork leg and, using a dedicated air pump
(Manitou Part #85-4162), inflate the fork with the desired pressure. Be aware
that sometimes air systems lose a small amount of pressure when the pump is
removed, so you may want to check exactly how much your pump loses by
reinstalling it after you have set and checked pressure.
Atmospheric Controlled Tuning (ACT) Air is designed to allow the rider to tune the
coil spring rate without the need to replace the main spring. Maximum spring air
pressure is 150 psi (10 bar) for ACT Air.
Maximum main spring air pressure is 300 psi (20.4 bar) for MARS and IT Air
springs. Consult the website for further instructions if necessary.
Forks with Infinite Travel (IT)™ adjustment have their main air spring adjuster at
the bottom of the left fork leg. When pressurizing the main spring with IT, you will
need to turn your fork /bike upside down (to keep from getting oil inside your air
pump), pump to the desired setting, and with the pump still installed, depress the
handlebar mounted travel adjuster. This will equalize the two chambers in the fork
leg and cause the pressure reading on your pump to drop. Repeat the procedure
until the pressure reading on the shock pump, with the handlebar-mounted travel
adjuster depressed, reaches the desired pressure.
When pressurizing the main spring with the Noble Air system, you will also need to
turn your fork /bike upside down (to keep from getting oil inside your air pump),
and pump to the desired setting. Maximum main spring air pressure is 175 psi
(12 bar). Consult the website for further instructions if necessary.
WARNING: WHEN REDUCING MAIN SPRING PRESSURE, AIR
MUST BE RELEASED SLOWLY. FAILURE TO DO SO
WILL REDUCE TRAVEL AND REQUIRE DISASSEMBLY TO RESTORE FORK TO
FULL TRAVEL."
