You're right, that's the Porta 02(std) manual, not the mkII.

The Guitar input is not complicated, just a 1/4" input jack that routes to Left and Right, simultaneously. It goes thru basically the same signal path as the A and B Mic inputs. If you're having trouble getting the Guitar-In signal, make sure there's nothing plugged into the Mic-A/B input jacks.

I dunno of any other "tricks" regarding the Porta 02mkII's dedicated Guitar-Input. There's no discrete level control or anything else on the Guitar-Input,... just a 1/4" jack.

Yes, you should activate both "3/L" and "4R" to record two tracks simultaneously onto tracks 3 and 4.
