The roller furler should be attached at the bow above the deck. The fore stay with rollup jib should be attached near the top of the mast and the lower end should be attached to the top of the roller furler. The lines from the furler and the jib should go on top of the deck back to the cockpit. There should be no lines under the deck.

Here's a link with a video of a roller furler in operation.

Note that this same site has many other training videos available.

Good Luck!!!
