seems you would want to move the clew inboard with the side to side lead & move the fore aft adjuster rearward for heavier air making the jib a bit flatter, but the manual is a bit different.
The barber hauler outer positions for down wind
Here's the full directions
FOUR-WAY JIB SYSTEM
The optional four-way jib system has a few
basic positions and infinite options in
between. Use these basic guidelines to discover
your preferences.
The four and aft track:
Set at center position for light to medium
air.
Set at aft position for heavy air.
To side to side lead:
Set at 8” inboard in light air.
Move position outboard as wind picks up
until lead is about 2 to 5 inches inboard
when you are a little overpowered.
You may find in certain downwind conditions
that having the barberhauler (option and
seperate from the four-way jib system) all
the way out is too far for proper wind flow.
In medium to heavy conditions setting the
barber 8 to 15 inches from fully outboard is
optimum.
Thx MN3..read your reply after I moved to new thread

What exactly is your question?
Standard rules apply, you want to adjust the jib leads fore/aft so that upwind the upper and lower sets of telltails break evenly (with the possible exception of setting so the upper set breaks just before the lowers). Set the inboard/outboard leads to open or close the slot. Most tuning guides give recommendations based on the distance between the jib leech and the end of the spreader. In higher wind, move the leads aft to add twist to the top of the jib and outboard to open the slot and reduce the angle of attack of the jib while still being able to sheet hard.
Barber haulers are separate and are just used for downwind sailing. Same rules apply. Pull the barber hauler out until the jib breaks evenly and then fine tune using the sheet.

Thx, that nailed it
SM, please define "breaks" for me. Is the tail pushed upward, flowing back or stalling? 😕
a good starting point for "setting up your jib" is to set your fore/aft adjuster by pulling on the clew of the jib and setting your sheeting angle so it is pulling equally on the foot and leach.

Breaks = Luffs
Sail on a close hauled heading and sheet your jib in to your upwind setting. The upper and lower sets of telltails should both be flowing (windward & leeward sides streaming back). Slowly turn the boat up into the wind. Both sets of windward telltails should start to stream up at the same time (or the top set should stream up just before). If the top set streams up significantly sooner than the bottom set, then move your jib leads forward.
