If 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. Ensure all equipment (SRD's / Energy Absorbing Lanyards), and users are
disconnected from the system prior to Step 2.
Step 2. Using a large screwdriver, rod, wrench, etc..., rotate the body of the tensioner
which allows the tensioner to spread apart, thereby releasing tension on the system
(See Figure 11 A).
Step 3. Once tension has been released as much as possible via the tensioner,
loosen the fist grips on the cable to release remaning tension on the system
(See Figure 11 B & 11 C).
Step 4. System can then be removed and reinstalled in a different location as
necessary.
