Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Identify a suitable location for the earth stake, preferably in moist soil, away from obstructions.
- Using a mallet or hammer, drive the stake firmly into the ground until most of its length is embedded, ensuring the tapered end is fully covered.
- Connect the 150mm lead from the stake to the 'Earth' or 'Ground' terminal on your electric fence energizer using appropriate connectors (not included).
- For enhanced grounding, especially in dry soil conditions, install additional earth stakes at least 10 meters apart, connecting them in series using suitable wire or cable to the first stake.
Compatibility:
This earth stake is compatible with most standard electric fence energizers and systems. The connection leads are designed for universal use with common electric fence wiring accessories.
Care:
- Periodically inspect the stake and its connections for corrosion or damage. Clean connections with a wire brush if necessary.
- Ensure the stake remains firmly embedded in the soil. If it loosens, re-drive it.
- In dry seasons, watering the ground around the stake can improve conductivity.
