NOTE:
Try to be consistent with Tread-in assembly. Wedge Clips should be at approximately the same height
from one Tread-in to the next.
Guide Positioning: Single Wire
When running out a single polywire just rest the wire on the shank of the bottom Primary Guide Pigtail (no
feeding through any pigtails necessary).
Before winding in a single polywire feed the wire through the bottom Primary Guide Pigtail AND the Side Arm
Pigtail. The Primary Guide and Side Arm Pigtails should be facing forward and the Side Arm should be
vertical. Ensure the polywire is on the inside of the Catcher.
Guide Positioning: Double or Triple Wire
When running out more than a single polywire ensure each wire is looped into its corresponding Pigtail on both
the Primary Guide and Side Arm Guide (as pictured). Turning the Primary Guide anticlockwise by about 30
o
helps increase the space when bringing down Tread-ins from the Rack to “clip on” position. The Guide Side
Arm must be lifted up about 45
o
from vertical. Experiment with what set-up feels most comfortable.
NOTE IMPORTANT:
When running out more than one polywire ensure the Stylus Operation Mode is set to
“Lock”. The Stylus lock must be engaged with the Base Drive Plate to prevent Spool from overrunning
(creating a birds nest) when the quad slows or comes to a stop.
When winding in multi-wire fences loop each polywire through its two Pigtails (Primary Guide and Side Arm).
Ensure all Pigtails are facing forward and, especially when working with three wires, have the side arm
positioned vertical or even titled slightly toward the quad tyre. This way when the quad is in motion the Side
Arm follows the wheel closely and is less likely to hit a bump.
NOTE:
In order to prevent knotted polywire from entangling with the Pigtails of the Guide use reef knots when
fixing breaks and keep just a little length on the ends (~3cm).
In order for the Guide Side Arm to effectively unclip the Polywire from the Wedge Clips of Tread-ins, the
Tread-ins on the fence line must all face the same direction (i.e. Wedge Clip Body Lugs must face towards
the quad as it travels up the fence line). If the fence is straight and was erected using anyone of the
Kiwitech Pac tools all the Wedge Clips should be facing the right way when the time comes to dismantle
the fence.
