Mast butt max forward, headstay class max, THEN start setting tension according to the guides.
I'm confused about "headstay class max". When I installed roller furling with a new headstay, I carefully measured and pre-set the headstay to the max. spec. This resulted in a lot of mast bend, a very loose backstay, and a lot of headstay sag in a breeze. I've now shortened the headstay an inch or so and still have lots of mast bend. How much tension is assumed when doing the class measurement for headstay length?
