FIGURE 10 - RELEASING LIFELINE TENSION
Once work operations are complete, work requires movement of HLL system to
another location, or the system needs to be uninstalled, the lifeline tension will
need to be released. To release the tension:
Step 1. Lift the locking lever to a position where a bar or wrench can be inserted
between the locking lever and the body of the tensioner.
Step 2. Using the bar or wrench, pry the locking lever open to release the tension on
the lifeline.
Step 3. Loosen the tensioning nut with the bar or wrench by turning the tensioning nut
counter clockwise until loose.
Step 4. The rope can be pulled through the tensioner by hand if necessary, by holding
the locking lever in the disengaged position and pulling the rope through the tensioner.

The Kernmantle Horizontal Lifeline subsystem is comprised of 32 strand, 12,000 lbs.
tensile strength 11/16” (17mm) diameter nylon Kernmantle rope with a stitched
thimble connection eye on one end and a rope tensioning device on the other. The
system also contains an in-line energy absorber and two self-closing, self-locking,
ANSI Z359.12 compliant end attachment carabiners. One carabiner is attached to the
thimble eye, and one is attached to the rope tensioning device. The rope tensioning
device is a plated steel tensioner through which the kernmantle rope is threaded and
