"Move the mount so that the counterweight bar is pointing directly down." So tilted back as far as it will go?

Sorry, no. I didn't make that very clear. The tilt (Alt setting on the mount) should be so that the scope is pointing towards the pole (ie the same as your latitude at the scope).
By pointing down I mean as if it would if you had the counterweight on and no scope and loosened the clutch. Gravity would swing the bar around to point downwards.

Do i need topping the scope to the south or does it not matter?

Not sure what you're trying to say there.
The idea with Quick-Align is that the mount thinks that it's starting with the scope pointing at the south pole and the counterweight bar pointing down (to give it a known RA position).
