I would try to thread it like
the link above and then through thread guide 1, then through take up lever 2, then through thread guide 3, as shown below. Be sure the presser foot is up while threading it.
It looks like the tension assembly is positioned a little different than shown in the manual, but I think I would try it like it is.
