Repair the Wire Break

When you find the location of the wire break,

you will need to dig down to the wire to make

the repairs.

1. Begin digging 4–5 in. (10–12 cm) to

the side of the buried wire (6A). Wire

is typically buried 1–3 in. (2.5–7 cm)

below the ground. Be certain to dig with

the shovel blade parallel to the wire,

otherwise you could cause additional

damage to the wire.

2. Dig slowly toward the wire until it is

exposed. Strip approximately 3⁄8 in.

(1 cm) of insulation from the ends of each

damaged boundary wire (6B). If the

boundary wire is corroded, cut it off and

remove more insulation to expose clean

copper wire.

Note: You will need to cut a new piece of

wire from the spool provided in order to

splice together the 2 broken boundary wires.

Make sure to have at least 1 ft. (30 cm) of

wire for small repairs. When repairing a large

section of wire, make sure that the new wire

extends at least 2 ft. (60 cm) longer than the

distance between the 2 ends of the exposed

boundary wire.

3. Take the end of the boundary wire and

the end from the new wire and twist the 2

stripped ends together (6C).

4. Place the wire connector over the spliced

wires and twist the wire connector around

the wires (6D). Make sure there is no

copper exposed beyond the end of the

wire connector.

5. Tie a knot 3–4 in. (7–10 cm) from the

wire connector (6E). Make sure the wire

connector is secure on the wire splice.

6. Open the lid of the gel-filled splice

capsule and insert the wire connector as

deeply as possible into the waterproof gel

inside the capsule (6F).
