underground.
Begin by digging a 4 inch deep cut where the wire first enters the ground
near the transmitter and continue around the path of the loop wire. A 30- to 45-degree
angle cut made with a flat-blade shovel will be easiest to close.
Note :
When covering a large area, a trenching machine may be used to cut into the
ground. However, it is recommended that the wire be placed in the trench by hand. A
commercial wire-placing machine may damage the wire.
IMPORTANT! BURY THE FENCE WIRE AFTER YOU HAVE TESTED THE SYSTEM
AND ARE SURE IT IS WORKING PROPERLY. DO NOT NICK OR SCRAPE THE FENCE
WIRE DURING INSTALLATION AS IT MAY RESULT IN AN INTERMITTENT SIGNAL OR
NO SIGNAL.
Make gradual turns at the corners with a radius of at least 3 feet. This will provide a more
consistent signal field that will avoid confusing the dog in these areas.
IMPORTANT!
y
DO NOT run fence wire within 6 feet parallel to electrical, telephone, cable TV or other
buried wire.
y
DO NOT run fence wire of one section within 10 feet of another section of fence wire or
the signal may cancel.
y
DO NOT run the fence within 10 feet of a neighboring e-fence system

Driveways/Sidewalks
When crossing an asphalt driveway, make a 1/2-inch deep cut across the driveway using a
circular saw and masonry blade. Close the crack with asphalt sealant after the fence wire
is placed in it. If an expansion joint is available on driveway and sidewalks, place fence
wire in the joint and close it with outdoor caulk. When crossing gravel, bury fence wire at
least 3 inches deep. PVC pipes or a garden hose can be used to protect the wire. In water,
anchor the wire with large rocks. Use PVC piping or garden hose to protect the wire.
