think you mean this Manual:

https://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=33543.0;attach=44811

it's not hopeless, only hard to read, but the Controller is the chineese Standard servo Controller witch is sold under
maybe 150 different Labels.

back to the Problem.
for a quick test you can set the enable Input a connect a 1.5v battery to the analog Input (pin25/13 ) to have a look that it is
in analog mode.

as far as i know CSMIO can not be Setup to +/-10V spindle control (only for the moving axis), only 0-10V and
use a servo Controller Input for CCW Operation.Mach3 has only the possibilty to Setup one Output for CW and
an other Output for CCW spindle Operation. therefore you have to use two relay's one for CW (only one NO contact
needed) and the CCW relay (two NO contacts needed).
then the CW relay Switches only the SRV-ON
and CCW relay Switches SVR-ON and CCW Input.

for the Moment i see not in the Manual, how to get a CCW Input confiured, but will Keep on studying.

are you running this Controller in step/dir mode or 0-10V analog mode?

you can run spindle without ENC module.
you have to set analog Output in CSMIO plugin config.

Jogging is ok?

if so try some simple GCodes via MDI Input line

Zero your x axis

G1X100F200 will drive x axis to 100 (check the distance)
G1X0F200 will return to Zero (check as it is on the original startpoint)

repeat a couple of times.

you can do quick checks by using the mdi Input line before run gcode

set your x axis Zero

then G1X10 F10
and G1X0 F10 for going back

the you can increase the F value and see when the stalling starts
