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 10–12 cm to the side of the
buried wire (6A). Wire is typically buried
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 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 30 cm of wire for small
repairs. When repairing a large section of
wire, make sure that the new wire extends at
least 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 nut over the spliced wires
and twist the wire nut around the wires
(6D). Make sure there is no copper
exposed beyond the end of the wire nut.
5. Tie a knot 7–10 cm from the wire nut (6E).
Make sure the wire nut is secure on the
wire splice.
6. Open the lid of the gel-filled splice
capsule and insert the wire nut as deeply
as possible into the waterproof gel inside
the capsule (6F).
