CAUTION: ALWAYS USE EYE PROTECTION WHEN TENSIONING. It is possible for a split-bolt to slip and/or an insulator to break. They can become dangerous projectiles.

Wrap black electrical tape around the Braid™ before you cut it. Use a utility knife or wire cutters to cut the ElectroBraid™ and then singe both ends with a lighter.

NOTE: Always tape before you cut. Always singe the end until it melts so the rope won't fray.

Loosen and remove the tensioning device and return to the post at the beginning of the strand. Just as you tensioned the Braid™ where you terminated the strand, tension once again at the post where you began. Tensioning from both ends will help ensure you get full and even tension on the line.

NOTE: Let the ElectroBraid™ sit for 24 hours after initially tensioning and then re-tension each strand again. Re-tensioning after 24 hours completes the tensioning process.

ElectroBraid™ maintains its tension very well so you will not have to constantly re-tension. However, if one of your posts moves due to frost or the impact of an animal or vehicle, the ElectroBraid™ need re-tensioning. Re-set the post and apply the tensioning device to re-tighten the Braid™. Consider strengthening your bracing to ensure the post won't shift again.

If you are fencing a paddock or pasture larger than one acre, we recommend you tension from corner to corner. To do this you will require a second tensioning kit. Start at an end post, walk the perimeter until you come to the first corner. Tension at this corner.

Go to the next corner post and repeat the process. After tensioning, return to the first corner and remove the ratchet. Repeat this process until you have completed tensioning the entire perimeter of your fence.

Remember you must terminate ElectroBraid™ after every 2400'. Do this by installing an In-Line H-Brace (see page 11).
