All,
Always tune up a rig and linear and tuner into a dummy load before applying 
an antenna.  Then, you should have less range of adjustment to fine tune the 
tuner to the antenna.

And, if possible, use an antenna analyzer to make sure the tuner settings 
are either correct for the intended antenna, (separately with the linear 
disconnected), or tune the antenna using the antenna analyzer as the source.

That minimizes the on air time of the linear while tuning up.  Actually, the 
goal is to NOT tune up the linear on the air.
