Step 3:
Secure the HLL system to the anchorage connectors with the provided end attachment carabiners.
Step 4:
Close the locking lever into the down position so that it is engaged; Figure 9A. Remove the slack from the line by pulling the
preinstalled rope through the tensioner by hand, see Figure 9B . Insert a pointed bar through the tensioning nut or use a wrench to
tighten by turning the nut clockwise until the tensioner slips or can no longer rotate, see Figure 10. Do not alter the tensioner to
achieve greater tension. Final line tension will be approximately 200 - 300 lbf.
The loose end tail length should not less than 3.3ft
(1.0m)
Step 5:
Once properly tensioned, connect a PFAS system only to the connection O-rings that have been preinstalled on the lifeline.

Releasing Lifeline Tension:
Upon completion of work, to move to a new work location or to disconnect from the end anchorage
connectors lifeline tension should be released. To release lifeline tension:
Step 1:
Lift the locking lever and position the pointed bar or wrench between the tensioner body and locking lever.
Step 2:
Pry upward with the pointed bar or wrench to disengage the lock lever and release the HLL tension, see Figure 11A.
Step 3:
Loosen the tensioning nut with the pointed bar or wrench by turning the tensioning nut counter clockwise until loose, see
Figure 11B
Step 4:
If necessary, the rope can be pulled through the tensioner by hand while holding the locking lever in the disengaged
position, see Figure 11C.
