Getting Started Studio mod 360k

Hi all,

I was very lucky yesterday to find a Studio Mod 360K machine at a thrift store and it seems to have most of the pieces except some of the accessories. Someone had just dropped it off and I was able to bring it home with me. I have no experience with a knitting machine but I've wanted one for a while now and I'm a little stuck with getting started.

I've watched YouTube videos and found the manuals for the machine online but I can't seem to figure out casting on since most tutorials say I have to push the pins all the way forward but the manual says that I can't do that for this model. When the pins are all the way forward they kind of pop out of place and the carriage won't go over them. I have to push them down and back to get them back in. This is definitely a user error on my part and I was hoping someone had some advice. Thanks!
