That's VERY surprising unless you're using high Z feedline (window line 
or open wire).

It's probably nothing more than a learning curve for how to find a match 
with this tuner. When I was first learning my Ten Tec tuner, I found the 
method described in the manual to work pretty well.  The impedance 
presented by the antenna to the tuner will be strongly dependent on 
feedline length, and could require a setting two or three clicks on 
either side of the zero center position.
