IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
WARNING
– Any alteration to the design of this energizer may cause serious electri-
cal shock and voids the warranty.
1. Install the energizer and the electric fence according to these installation and operating
instructions.
2. Mount electric fence signs in visible areas to identify the electrified wire(s).
3. Inform everyone, especially children, who might possibly come into contact with the elec-
trically charged fence, about its location and operation.
4. Instruct all persons how to disconnect the energizer in case of emergency.
5. Never climb over an electric fence wire while it is electrically energized.
6. Never install an electric fence below high-voltage power plant transmission lines.
7. Never use more than one electric fence energizer on the same fence.
WARNING
8. – Do not simultaneously connect an electric fence to any other device such
as a cattle or poultry trainer. Otherwise, lightning striking your fence will be conducted to
all other devices.
DANGER
9. – This energizer must be grounded. If it should malfunction, grounding
reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of low resistance for the electric
current. A properly installed ground rod electrically connected to the fence energizer out-
put ground terminal provides grounding of this product. An internal fault on an improper-
ly grounded fence energizer could result in a risk of harmful electric shock on the elec-
trified fence.
10.Repair of the electric fence energizer should be performed by an authorized repair cen-
ter only. For the nearest repair center in your area, call 1-800-800-1819.
IMPORTANT! Before using the energizer for the first time, with the switch in the
"OFF" position, expose the solar module to sunlight for at least three days. This
will allow the battery to become fully charged and ready to use.
The DO'S and DON'TS for maintaining the solar module's efficiency
DO—Check the energizer and solar module as often as possible for proper operation.
DO—Clean the surface of the solar module when needed. Use a damp cloth, but do not use
any abrasive cleaning agent or cleaning pad that might damage the module's glass.
DO—Cover the solar module with something dark in color when not in use for more than three
days in order to prevent overcharging the battery.
DO—Remove any object that obstructs the sunlight from reaching the module.
DON'T—Use any means of charging the battery other than the solar module or a constant-
potential-current-limited charger rated at 4VDC @ .450 Amp.
DON'T—Overcharge the battery. To use a battery charging system other than the solar mod-
ule, the battery must be removed from the circuit.
WARNING: To prevent a shock hazard, do not operate this unit when
using a battery charger. Disconnect and remove battery when recharg-
ing with a plug-in type battery charger.
TO REMOVE THE BATTERY:
A. Remove the one screw that secures the top
cover of the battery enclosure compartment.
B. Tag, mark or identify the 2 lead wires which are
connected to the battery, then disconnect them.
Polarity must be observed when connecting the
replacement battery.
C. Handle battery with care. Keep battery away
from fire or flame. Discard battery only in an
accepted manner. Do not rupture case as bat-
tery contains corrosive acid.
D. The replacement battery should be of the same rating as the original battery.
