Installation Step 3
Installing the fence posts and wire:
1. Locate the fence within 75 feet of your ground system. Place the provided posts in the
area which you plan to contain. Space the fence posts a maximum of 10 feet apart. Attach
the fence wire to the posts by sliding the wire into the clips attached to the fence posts.
2. Make sure each wire is connected to the fence energizer directly or by jumpers that con-
nect to the first wire. Ensure that these are secure mechanical and electrical connections.
See diagram 5.
3. The fence wires need to be clean and free of grass or other foliage. Any foliage touching
the fence wires can short the fence to ground and will adversely affect the fence perfor-
mance. It may be necessary in your situation not to use the bottom set of clips on the
fence posts for running a charged wire.
