I would suggest that you buy a new manual for this as your overlocker has 5 threads that need to be threaded up correctly to form a stitch and there are several different stitches that can be made with this model such as a rolled hem, chain stitch, three thread overlock, four thread overlock and safety stitch with three thread overlock, lots to learn.
Always well worth buying the manual and saving a lot of frustration trying to guess how things work and it adds value if you are going to sell the item.
Try looking for a manual for your machine here. http://www.riccar.com/help/manuals/
If your model number isn't listed try looking for a similar model or the number nearest to your machine.
Usually, sewing machines of the same brand thread in the same way. Hope this helps!
Make sure all the settings are as they should be for threading and try again.
You can manually thread the loopers with a very fine gauge guitar wire or beading thread (looks like fishing line) with a loop on one end to hold the thread.
If you still cannot get the machine threaded, take it to a dealer to see if they have a wire threader instead of the DIY method I explained.
Get a wire threader for the machine from the dealer and store it in a safe place as it is easily lost - I lost mine 2 years ago - they are so thin they disapear!
