5. (See Figure 10, 2) Connect the crank handle (L) to the top output (M) and remove excess slack by rotating clockwise
(N). The lifeline must be tensioned until a "click" (O) and a slight rotation of the crank arm relative to the crank body
occur. When the crank handle is released it will return to its original position in line with the crank body.
6. (See Figure 10, 3) Place the crank handle in its resting position (K) when the HLL is in use.
;
The handle must be in the resting position. If the handle is placed in the output position it could cause the brake
to malfunction resulting in serious injury or death to the user(s).
7. (See Figure 11) If slack is needed to make an adjustment to the system, or for ease in removing the system,
connect the crank handle to the top output (M) and rotate clockwise (N) for about 20°, press the top button (J)
simultaneously and allow the crank handle to rotate counterclockwise (P).
8. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to connect your PFAS to the HLL. The connecting subsystem between the
harness and horizontal lifeline must attach to the dorsal (back) D-ring of the harness.
9. (See Figure 12) After use, retract the lifeline back into the casing by connecting the crank handle to the bottom
output (Q) and rotating it counterclockwise (R). Ensure there are no knots or kinks in the lifeline as you retract it.
