Repair the Wire Break

When you find the location of the wire break,
you will need to dig down to the wire to make
the repairs.
1. Begin digging 4–5 in. (10–12 cm) to
the side of the buried wire (6A). Wire
is typically buried 1–3 in. (2.5–7 cm)
below the ground. Be certain to dig with
the shovel blade parallel to the wire,
otherwise you could cause additional
damage to the wire.
2. Dig slowly toward the wire until it is
exposed. Strip approximately
(1 cm) of insulation from the ends of each
damaged boundary wire (6B). If the
boundary wire is corroded, cut it off and
remove more insulation to expose clean
copper wire.
Note: You will need to cut a new piece of
wire from the spool provided in order to
splice together the 2 broken boundary wires.
Make sure to have at least 1 ft. (30 cm) of
wire for small repairs. When repairing a large
section of wire, make sure that the new wire
extends at least 2 ft. (60 cm) longer than the
distance between the 2 ends of the exposed
boundary wire.
3. Take the end of the boundary wire and
the end from the new wire and twist the 2
stripped ends together (6C).
4. Place the wire nut over the spliced wires
and twist the wire nut around the wires
(6D). Make sure there is no copper
exposed beyond the end of the wire nut.
5. Tie a knot 3–4 in. (7–10 cm) from the wire
nut (6E). Make sure the wire nut is secure
on the wire splice.
6. Open the lid of the gel-filled splice
capsule and insert the wire nut as deeply
as possible into the waterproof gel inside
the capsule (6F).
