Brother XL 4011 Sewing Machine?

I have a brother 4011 sewing machine and the problem I have is that I cannot get the needle to pick up the lower thread. I have checked the tension on the spool which seems okay and have lost the manual.

Hello Rebecca,
If you e-mail me I will attach timing instructions for you but check to make sure the needle is new and in the correct way round first.
