They all essentially set up the same, 5 degrees (inch per foot or so), good water flow over the top means the fluid bed is running properly.There is really no trick, keep it level side to side and enough water and angle to clear the grizzlies as you load it. it will catch whatever gold you try to put through it

Be sure to keep the tailings pile down too. In fast water you can drop a whole shovel full of material on the deck, in slower water I shake the material off the shovel so as not to overwhelm the skid plate on the Sniper.
