4. DO NOT CONNECT ANY OTHER DEVICE, SUCH AS A POULTRY OR CATTLE TRAINER, TO A FENCE THAT IS ALREADY CONNECTED TO THE FENCE CONTROL. Should lightening strike the fence, its damaging electrical force will be conducted to all other devices. 5. AVOID ACCIDENTAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Never install an electric fence below high voltage power plant transmission lines. Never touch or attempt to climb over a fence that is electrically charged. Never use more than one Fence Control on the same fence.

Splices: 1. Two types of splicing may be used; hand splicing, or the use of specially designed splicing bolts and connectors. Gates: 1. A simple gate can be constructed from a single “hot” wire line with the use of an insulated gate handle. However, disconnecting the gate handle also disconnects the electric flow in the fence. A typical gate can be used without interfering with the electric flow in the fence by running an insulated wire under the gate, beneath the ground level. A “hot”

5. TROUBLESHOOTING: If the fence is not operating properly, make sure nothing, other than the fence posts, is touching the fence. Make sure all connections to the Fence Control are clean and tightened securely. Ensure that all fence wires and the ground wire connections are tightened securely. If necessary, use a commercial electric fence tester to check the output on the fence line. 6. TO CLEAN: wipe the outer body of the Fence Control with a soft, damp cloth, using a mild detergent. A
