ground, unl only 5cm (2”) remain above the ground.
To aach the earth cable:

b. Unscrew the green (EARTH) terminal on the energizer and insert the loop
of wire between the washers.
c. Screw the terminal closed, ensuring the wire is rmly clamped.
3. Lay out the cable down walls and out to the earth stake.
4. Aach the cable to the earth stake by removing 10cm (4”) of insulaon from
the cable at the earth stake, then clamp the exposed wire to the stake using an
earth clamp.
