If you want to set it to an angle of say 22 degrees for Mackay, then subtract this from 90 and that leaves 68. If you tip it to 68 and measure the angle with a protractor from the horizontal, you should find the mount is at 22 degrees tilt.

That's my take, make sense? I could be wrong, however....

Thanks Chris, Yes it makes sense more sense than the markings at first I thought that the numbers were the wrong way around but the bar can only go on one way.
