Questions from a new Loricraft user

I just took delivery today of a new Loricraft PRC3 RCM. took it out of the box, went through the rough setup and cleaned a couple of records. Very impressed. Now my questions:

some of the nylon thread had come loose from the spool in shipment and I wound it rather sloppily back to the spool in my hurry to try it out. I decided to go back and rewind it evenly on to the spool. In doing so, I managed to pull the thread completely out of the arm. The manual seems pretty vague about how to rethread - merely saying that I should "disconnect the 3mm pipe and use the pump to rethread through the bottom brass tube" Do I disconnect from the arm, or from where the 3mm tube enters the discharge bottle? I've tried it a few different ways and even with the pump running, I can't get it to rethread. Any advice?

Second question: When cleaning, the arm tracks very nicely from the outside to the inside, picking up everything. But if I go from the lable side to the outside, the arm does not track at all, it just sits at the spot I place it. What am I doing wrong there?

Seems like an advanced RCM like this one would come with a better manual.....

Re 2nd Question...

The arm and its motor do not know whether you're asking it to go inside out or outside in. The same mechanism does both, so if one direction is working the other should also.

When starting at the label:
a) ensure the arm is on the back side of the spindle - that is, the other side of the spindle from you, at the front.
b) the arm motor switch is in the on position. (This sounds silly obvious, but there have been moments when I position the arm and stare at it for a few moments before realizing I need to flip its motor switch.)

Re 1st Question: take a look at this PDF file

Fwiw, there are several good threads (nopun) here with Loricraft tips. Great machine!
