ENSIONER
The Rope Tensioner is used for coarse adjustment of the rope on systems
incorporating the Tension-Indicating Ratchet. For systems that do not incorporate
the Tension-Indicating Ratchet, the Rope Tensioner is designed to achieve
proper tension of the Synthetic Rope Horizontal Lifeline. The Rope Tensioner is
constructed with high tensile steel.

OPE
The low stretch 5⁄8 inch (15.9mm) Kernmantle rope is constructed with a nylon
strand core and a polyester jacket, providing a 10,000 pound (44.5kN) minimum
breaking strength. The abrasion-resistant jacket is designed to show damage
before the load carrying core becomes damaged. The rope should be removed
from service if the outer sheath is damaged. The rope comes with one end
fi nished (thimble and stitched) with a snap hook, and the other end is knotted to
prevent the rope from passing back through the Rope Tensioner.

INGS
The 2 inch (50.8mm) O-rings are made from high tensile steel and marked to
ANSI Z359.1-2007 and/or ANSI Z359.12-2012 with a minimum breaking strength
of 5,000 pounds (22.2kN).
INSTALLATION
