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.

USE
4.1
BEFORE EACH USE: Verify that your work area and Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) meet all criteria defined in
Section 2 and a formal Rescue Plan is in place. Inspect the EZ-Line Horizontal Lifeline per the 'User' inspection points

Absorbing Lanyard or Self-Retracting Device (SRD). Figure 1 illustrates connection of a Lanyard (Lanyard shown) or
SRD between the Harness and EZ-Line Horizontal Lifeline. Connect the Lanyard or SRD between the D-Ring on the
EZ-Line Horizontal Lifeline and the back Dorsal D-Ring on the Harness as instructed in the instructions included with the
Lanyard or SRD.
;
Horizontal Lifeline Connections: See the product instruction for your Horizontal Lifeline (HLL) for proper
connection of the Lanyard or SRD to the HLL.
