Is there such a thing as an installation or how to manual?

There is, but usually it's published by the individual manufacturer and I doubt your lift has it in the paperwork. Contact Craig Loop (Outback, on this site) or Mad River Lifts for a better idea.

Ther is normally a set of plans drown up by the manufacturer for a new lift for a reinstall of an older lift you will need to contact a tramway engineer who can get the origanal manuals for you and draw up the appropreate plans. There are numerous engineers on line and contracters, like john Said tri Outback, Mad River and I will add Tramway Engineering LTD. web address www.tramway.net .The last site has a good referance section an tramwy design.

I have not contacted an installation company yet primarily because the money is not in the budget to simply pay someone to put it up and part of the reason why we are doing this is because my son and I love to do projects and they do keep getting bigger. I would like to think I may run into someone that has been in the business that maybe retired or something that wants to help.

The Hall chair lift manuals I have seen have some good information on how to assemble the lift on site. I remember seeing information on how to set the crossarms, wiring the tower switches and how to pull the haul rope. I assume the manuals for their t-bars are simular. If you dont get that information with the second hand lift try and find an area with same confiquiration and copy theirs. You may also try getting it from Larry Wollham (sp?) I beleive he still is Doppelmayr CTEC's Hall Guru. He worked for Hall a long time and I belive still has a office in Watertown, NY doing aftersales service work for Hall skilift operators.
