If you are running at 0% (0°) pitch under level ground, the predicted depth will be the actual depth. In this
case, all locating can be done at the FLP while the drill head is moving.
Once the transmitter has been located and it is moving in the correct
direction, place the receiver relatively level on the ground one rod length
in front of the FLP, in line with the path created by the FLP and RLP. Turn
HAG off.
