Hi,
They don't make a schematic, so I had to. LOL There are two hoses. One is a supply (inlet) and the other is a return (outlet).
If you look below, the first two pics are for the outlet. Pics 3 and 4 show the inlet.
Let me know if this helps.
Joe
See pics below.

So, the bottom port of the heater core goes to the top of thermostat port and the top of heater core port goes to bottom of the thermostat port.

Hi,
Based on what I'm seeing in the manual, you are correct.
Let me know how things work out for you or if you have other questions.
Take care,
