Adjustable Mount
Seasonal dials explain where to
leverage your energizer to get the
best amount of sunlight exposure.
Used for both T-Post and Wood
Post. The Spring/Fall setting is the
general recommendation for
optimal use throughout the year
but you can maximized your
battery by making adjustments to
the angle during each season.

How Electric Fencing Works
The system works when an animal provides an electrical path by touching the
fence wire and the earth simultaneously. The electricity then passes through the
animal, into the soil and back to the ground rods, which are connected to the fence
energizer. At that point the circuit is complete and the animal instantly receives an
eletrical shock.

ENERGIZER ELECTRIC FENCING OVERVIEW FENCE ENERGIZER INSTALLATION FENCE ENERGIZER INSTALLATION
BEEFORE YOU START
WARNING: Read ALL these instructions. Only use electric fence energizer products for the purpose intended
as dened in this manual.
This controller must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding reduces the risk of
electrical shock by providing a path of low resistance for the electric current. Grounding this product is
provided by properly installed ground rod electrically connected to the fence controller output ground
terminal.
To reduce risk of electrical shock do not remove cover. Refer to service personnel.
Never electrify barbed wire! The barbs may injure animals if they become tangled in the fence.
Always disconnect battery-powered fence controllers from the battery before recharging the battery. Failure
to do so may damage your fence controller and battery charger, and void your warranty.
Never run more than on fence controller on the same fence line at one time. The pulses of short shock solid
state fence controllers will be too close together and may be hazardous to animals and people. It will also
damage your fence controllers.
Instruct all persons how to disconnect a fence controller in case of emergency. Post signs on electric fences
along public roads or near residences.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock! Do not connect an eletric fence to any other device such as a cattle trainer
or a poultry trainer. Otherwise lightning striking your fence will be conducted to all other devices.
WARNING: Energizers requiring an external ground must be properly grounded.
WARNING: Many AC energizers are internally grounded and are equipped with polarized 2 prong
Install fence lines powered by seperate fence energizers far enough apart to prevent contact with both fence
lines at the same time. Simultaneously touching two fences powered by seperate energizers could be
hazardous.
WARNING: Users of electric fencing should avoid contacting the fence with the head, mouth, neck or torso.
Users should not climb over, through or under an electric fence. Please use a gate or an area designed as a
crossing point.
WARNING: Do not connect this energizer to any mains-operated equipment.
Never connect a DC fence to an AC power supply.
WARNING: Many AC energizers are internally grounded and are equipped with polarized 2 prong
plugs. These plugs must never be altered and must be inserted into a properly installed, appropriate
outlet. Only use a polarized extension cord. Damaged polarized plugs must be replaced with polarized
plugs. failure to follow this warning could create a safety hazard, damage the energizer, and void the
warranty.
In a double-insulated energizer, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No
means of equipment ground is provided in the supply cord of a double-insulated energizer, nor should
a means for equipment grounding be added to the energizer. Servicing of a double-insulated
energizer requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done only by a serive
personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated energizer must be identical to the parts they
replace.

1. Brush, weed and plant growth around the base of
your fence.
2. Improper grounding.
3. Snow.
4. Cracked or broken insulators.
