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.....

Rethreading the Loricraft is a time for patience. With the pump on the only real difficulty if getting it from the spool to the end of the arm where the tip is. Once there it goes somewhat easier to get it to the bottle. Not difficult but far from easy, a little patience goes a long way.
As to the next question. The arm starts on the inside, by the label but is directed, as it were, to go to the back of the machine, not the front, that may be your problem. Hope so.
Hope this helps.

Let me be a bit more specific. Leave the arm in place. there is a little tube that starts by the spool and goes over the top of the arm and down. thread that first. Then thread it through the little plastic liner of the return to the bottle. It will go through, which is why they insist on cotton thread. once it reaches the top of the bottle, give the thread some lee way and just pull it down, make sure the lid is tight and it should work easy.
