Do I have to unlock the nut? Also, the neck is a little sticky. I have a spray on neck cleaner I use on my les paul called Powerchord, will that be ok on the finish of this guitar? any help would be appreciated.

First a huge congratz! I have one of these and it is amazing. You've got a lifetime axe there!
On the tuning issue, ...yes, loosen all of the
locking nut screws. Then unscrew the fine tuners to where they are all backed out enough to give you plenty of future fine tuning, and try to make them about the same height.
Then dive the whammy bar down a couple of times and let it naturally come back to rest in neutral floating position.
Then tune the guitar using the tuning keys on the headstock, going through all strings until they are all in tune. Then tighten the locking nut screws until they are nice and snug, but don't "wrench" them down. Usually, you will then need to check tuning again and make some minor adjustments with the fine tuners because the locking nut saddles will usually pull the strings a little sharp or even flat in some cases. Then you are good to go for a long time.
Be sure if you have new strings that you stretch them good before doing this process or you are just wasting your time and will have to do it all over again after playing an hour or so.
