- Determine
how many corners or ends will be needed to completely enclose
the desired area. Install those corners or ends first. Select
any posts from the kit as corner or end posts. These posts should
be securely placed in the ground. Each kit contains one drive
rod that is used to drive into the ground. Insert the drive rod
about 7" into the ground, remove and lightly tap the post
into the hole. Do this for each post.
- Remove a
package of 3/8th inch insulators from the kit. Place one insulator
per corner post near top of fence post.
- Remove polywire
from the kit. Attach the end of the polywire, from the roll, to
one corner post so that the poly wire fits into the insulator
as in Figure B. Run the poly wire, through the insulator, around
each corner post until all corner posts or ends are attached together
by the poly wire. Remove any slack in the poly wire. Polywire
can be secured by simply hand tying a knot in the polywire to
the insulator. Repeat steps 2 & 3 for double wire system.
- Locate 4
pk of anchor stakes w/rope in the kit. Place one at each corner
post. Secure each corner by securing the stake rope to the corner
post and tightening the rope with the stake at a 45 degree angle.
- Now that
the above steps have been completed, begin to secure posts between
each corner post in an evenly spaced pattern. Depending on the
terrain and fence layout the fence posts can be over 20 feet apart.
- Place insulators
on all fence posts that were installed in step 4.
- Locate the
electric fence controller from the fence kit. (Solar: Place the
solar energizer in direct sunlight for 3 days in the off position
before placing on the fence. If you hear the energizer clicking
you have pushed the power switch to the ON position. Keep your
hands away from the energizer terminals.) (Plug-In: It is recommended
that plug-in units be covered and protected from rain and snow.)
If using the plug-in system, find the post with the attached mounting
clip and secure the energizer to it. If using the solar model
use the ground rod in step 9 to secure the power unit.
- Upon mounting
the energizer in the desired area of the fence cut a short piece
of polywire from the excess roll. Tie the piece of poly wire to
the existing wire that goes around the fence using several square
knots wrap the other end of the short piece to the wire terminal
at the bottom of the electric fence controller marked fence.
- Locate the
metal ground rod in the box. Insert the ground rod into the ground
next to the power unit, bury as much of the ground rod as possible
(if 1 ft or less is all that can be buried, bury the rod lengthwise).
Remember that the solar energizer mounts directly onto the ground
rod so leave approximately 18" for the solar unit. For plug
in only: Attach a cut piece of polywire to the ground terminal,
of the power unit, and the other end to the ground rod. Make sure
that this wire is secure and does not touch the fence line. Solar
unit only: Mount onto ground rod by sliding rod through clamp
in back of solar unit and tighten. Unit should face South.
- Locate the
deer pops box in the kit. Follow the deer pop instructions to
attach and properly bait the easy deer fence kit.
- If using
a solar electric fence controller, turn the device on by using
the switch located at the bottom of the electric fence controller.
The plug in electric fence controller is activated simply by plugging
in the device.
