Bury the boundary wire
9
Important:
Always test your fence system to make sure it is operating properly before burying the boundary wire.
1. Unplug the fence transmitter.
2. To ensure reliable fence operation over time, waterproof each wire splice along your boundary:
a. Tie a knot 7.5 - 10 centimetres from the wire connector.
b. Open the lid of a gel-filled capsule and
insert the wire connector as deeply as
possible into the waterproof gel inside the capsule.
c. Snap the lid of the capsule shut.
Your system comes with two gel-filled splice capsules. Additional
splice capsules are available for purchase at www.petsafe.com or
by contacting our Customer Care team.
3. Cut a trench 2.5-7.6 centimetres deep along your planned
boundary. The trench only needs to be as wide as the wire. Avoid
all underground cables as you dig.
Lawn trenchers, which you can often rent from a local hardware store, work well, and make for a quick job. You can also use a flat
shovel, like a trenching shovel.
4. Place the boundary wire into the trench, leaving some slack to allow it to expand and contract with temperature variations.
5. Use a blunt tool, such as a wooden paint stick, to push the boundary wire into the trench. Be careful not to damage the boundary
wire insulation.
6. Make sure the boundary wire is not cut off or pinched by a window, door, or garage door, as this can damage it over time.
7. Once you have buried all the wire, plug the fence transmitter back in.
