Most attenuators function the same way.
I am assuming your unit matches your amp's "ohm" output rating.
If it does not you will want to ensure it does before proceeding.
The unit goes between the amp output and the speaker.
Connect the amp output to the unit's input.
Connect the unit's output to the speaker.

Thanks for the help. So i connect the input of the attenuator to “post power amp line out” and then connect the main speaker out with the attenuator?

No.
Having now looked at pics of the amp (because I didn't understand what you meant by "post power line out") I see that plugging into that jack mutes the speakers in the cabinet.
It looks like that jack is for bypassing the stock speakers to run an alternate cabinet instead of the stock speakers
I imagine you'll likely have to remove the screen and find out where the wires going to the speakers come out of the amp.
If you see a jack that the speakers are plugged into you would insert there.
If the speakers are hard wired it will require some cutting and soldering to install a pair of 1/4" jacks, female on the amp side of the cut, male on the speaker side.
Tread cautiously.
This may possibly be beyond your abilities.
You may want to have an amp tech take a look at it for you to determine the feasibility of this endeavour.
