What happens here
First, retrieve the ground rod and slide hammer tool from the 'Razor Grazer'. Position the ground rod in a suitable location, ensuring it is within reach of the fence line. Use the slide hammer to pound the ground rod securely into the earth. If the ground is dry, pour a small amount of water over the ground rod to improve electrical conductivity. Connect the ground wire clamp to the ground rod.
Goal: Establish a reliable ground connection for the electric fence.
