Can you post a couple pic's of it and the parts, if they are not attached or being used. I use to have a RS180. RC means recirculating, so if you have a second pump attached to it, then it is a RC, otherwise RS. 
 
Should be simple, its a matter of adjusting the air flow and water flow. What most are missing are air adjustment valve. If you don't have one, then you can probably get one from Kevin @ Red Coral or JL online. 
 
If the skimmer has been running for a bit, great... It will be a matter of getting the bubbles as fine as possible, using the air adjustment. Then adjusting the water level. I use to run my water lever to the base of the skimmate cup. 
 
I hope this helps.
