I have the "not super" version of this camera. I've put just 2 rolls through it.
I've got loading and advancing the film down pat, if that helps.

Here's a little bit that the camera seller sent me and I found helpful.

"I thought it advisable to include instructions on loading the camera, because it’s a bit complex until you know how.
Open the back with the sliding catch near the handle. Pull out the film wind knob and insert the full spool, thread it, and wind on a few turns. Close the back and wind the film to number 1 using the red window. You need to wind the knob clockwise until it stops, then counterclockwise until it stops and clockwise again and so on. Close the red window; you will not need it again until all 12 frames are exposed. .
Press the little lever on the upper left back of the camera to the right (towards the viewfinder) and hold it there while you wind the film knob counterclockwise. The little window at the end of the top plate (just below the film wind knob) should now show the figure 1 and you are ready to make the first exposure. After exposure, the dot in the round window beside the shutter release button will turn to red and the shutter release button will lock.
To wind on for the next exposure, turn the wind knob counterclockwise until it stops, then clockwise until it stops. The next number will appear in the little window by the wind knob, the dot will change from red, and you are ready for the next exposure.
When you take number 12, wind off the film by operating the knob counterclockwise, then clockwise until all the leader is wound off and remove the film. It sounds more complicated than it is, but after a couple of films it’s easy. It is advisable to keep an eye on the red window from time to time. When these cameras were made some 50 years ago, film was much thicker than it is now. Automatic winding is governed by the amount of film winding on to the empty spool. With modern thin films, the thickness may not build up sufficiently and the result may be some overlapping towards the end of the roll. A check on the red window will let you see how the numbering is progressing and you can wind on a little more film if necessary."
