You will absolutely need a good dummy load for the amplifier. Connect the transceiver and a good SWR meter in the usual way. Tune and adjust the amplifier for the favored part of the band you're working on, using the dummy load.

Key the transmitter using CW (unmodulated signal). Adjust the slug for lowest SWR. Remember that some of the input circuitry is shared by two bands. If you adjust to improve one band, you'll throw the other band off. Your call as to which one you want to favor.
