Safe Electric Fence Construction - Valley 5B/SG50 Manual De Instrucciones

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 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 m (6'6") 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.
Duty to the public
Fasten warning signs to electric fence posts or wires at frequent intervals along any
public roads or pathways. Incorporate a non-electrified gate or stile where an electric
animal fence crosses a public pathway and fasten warning signs to fence posts or wires
adjacent to the crossing.
