[Boatanchors] couple or three questions

I have a Heathkit 2060 tuner and will use a 160M dipole with R8 coax out of 
the coax output on the back to the balun which goes to 300 ohm ladder line, 
do I put the jumper between 3 and 4, or 4 and 5, on the back of the tuner? 
The manual is a little unclear (to me anyway ) on this. It appears to be 3 
and 4. Also what is a good way to switch this antenna between the receiver 
(388) and the transmitter (DX100). One more question, is it imperative to 
use the break in feature when transmitting as I think it may be defeated on 
this radio (is it Al?), is it enough to shut the antenna off or maybe ground 
it while transmitting?.
