Gary,

I don't think there is a weight chart for specific adjuster settings. You just need to adjust it and see how it feels for you and the type of riding you do. Use what feels best. I cranked mine up one notch at a time until I felt it was too harsh, then went back down to the setting before that.

I was running the middle setting with the stock tires, but since I switched to a bit taller rear tire, I backed the adjuster back one notch to the the second softest setting (#2) w/ #1 being the softest.

Experiment to find what is the best for you and be thankful we at least have a degree of adjustability with these bikes. The previous gen bikes don't have an adjustment feature on the rear shock.
