I’m not sure if Winchester included a manual with their rifles back in the 19th century. I don’t remember ever seeing one. They did include information in the early catalogs on how to dismount, unload and clean the rifle. Here is a snip from the April 1882 catalog which should give you what you need.
I call myself a collector as it sounds better than hoarder
There’s a couple original catalogs in the current Ward’s Auction:
