I first survey, then go back to the start and set the perimeters (minimum and max depth) to the final install to see if everything is good to go (making sure that I do not have to cut down a hill to get deep enough etc). I have my intended final target depth set during this check time as well. Then I find out if I have enough depth at the start hole. If everything is good to go, I then reset all my settings, reducing the depth by 10 inches (12 is what most recommend, but 10 is easy math and 2 inches isn't going to make much difference in our soils). I start by reducing the target depth and then reduce the minimum and max depths. Do not change your minimum grade at all from what you intend for your final install. I put the plow in the hole, but hold it up about 10" from where I plan to put it for the final install. I hit install after setting the plow in and make the pre-rip. I hit escape at the end of the pre-rip so I do not record that as an install.
