The energizer should be stored inside, next to a
window, where sunlight can shine on the
energizer each day.
If the energizer cannot be stored in a sunny
position, it should be kept in a cool place. The
battery should be fully charged and
disconnected from the energizer. The battery
should be recharged manually every six months
using a suitable battery charger.

Safe electric fence construction
Warning!
Read before use.
An electric fence can be hazardous when there
is a risk of entrapment or entanglement, or
other hazards exist. Serious injury or death may
result. Take all steps to avoid the risk of
entrapment or entanglement. This safety
information should be read in conjunction with
Requirements for electric animal fences.
Hazards
 Do not climb through or under an electric
fence. If it is necessary to cross an electric
fence use a gate or specially designed
crossing point.
 Do not allow young or infirm persons to use
this energizer without supervision. Do not
allow young children to play with this
energizer or near an electric fence or
electrified wires.
 Do not electrify barbed wire.
 Do not support off-set electrified wires less
than 150 mm (6‛) from the vertical plane of
a barbed wire fence.
 Do not electrify any fence construction
which could lead to entanglement of
persons or animals. We recommend for
instance, that no more than one electrified
off-set wire be supported on either side of a
barbed wire or mesh fence.
 Do not supply an electric fence from two
energizers.
 Do not allow electrified wires from two
energizers on the same or adjacent
properties to be less than 2.5 m (8') apart.
 Do not place energizer earth electrodes
within 10 m (33') of any part of a power
supply earth system or telecommunications
earth system.
 Do not run electric fence wires above or
close to overhead power or communication
lines.
