tighten to 3 turns in the body (ind. 2) to have a
maximum setting run.
b. Remove the split ring (ind. 6) and remove the half-
shell axle (ind. 1).
c. Engage the quick connector link (page 3, ind. J) fixed
to the end anchor (Fig. 1/2 ind. A) in the half-shell
(ind. 1) and replace the shell axis (ind. 5) and split
ring (ind. 6).
d. Check that the quick connector link (Fig. 1/2 ind. J)
moves freely in the half-shell (ind. 1) and the split
ring (ind. 6) is engaged.

2. Body
3. Shell lock nut
4. Shell hole
5. Shell axis
6. Split ring
6.8. Installing the tension indicator
6.8.1. General
The tension indicator (Fig. 1/2 ind. C) of the travflex™ 2
lifeline is moored to the tensioner at one end (Fig. 1/2,
ind. B) and the other on the INRS shock absorber
(Fig. 1/2, ind. D) through a quick link connector (Fig. 1/2,
ind. J) comes with INRS shock absorber.
Standard delivery, the tension indicator comes in a
polyethylene bag.
6.8.2. Installing on the tensioner
The following assembly procedure refers to Figure 18
on page 11:

b. Engage one end of the indicator in the tensioner half-
shell (ind. 1), align the hole in the tensioner shell (ind.
4) with the end of indicator hole (ind. 8), then replace
the shell axis (ind. 5) and split ring (ind. 6).
c. Check that the tension indicator (Fig. 1/2 ind. C)
moves freely in the half-shell (ind. 1) and the split
ring (ind. 6) is engaged.
Installation is complete.
1. Half-shell
5. Shell axis
6. Split ring
8. indicator end hole
6.9. Installing the INRS shock absorbers
6.9.1. General
"IMPORTANT": The travflex™ 2 lifeline must be
equipped with two INRS shock absorbers (Fig. 1/2,
ind. D), one at each end of the lifeline.
The first INRS shock absorber (Fig. 1/2, rep. D) of
the travflex™ 2
lifeline is moored on one side to
the tensioner (Fig. 1/2, ind. D) through a quick link
connector (Fig. 1/2, ind. J) or optional directly onto a
tension indicator (Fig. 1/2, ind. (C) and the other on the
corner unit supplied with the cable (Fig. 1/2, ind. H).
The second INRS shock absorber (Fig. 1/2, rep. (D) is
moored on one side on the end anchor (Fig. 1/2, ind. D)
through a quick link connector (Fig. 1/2, ind. J) comes
with end anchor (Fig. 1/2 ind. A) and the other on the
sleeved cable loop (Fig. 1/2, ind. D) through a quick
link connector (Fig. 1/2, ind. J) comes with INRS shock
absorber (Fig. 1/2 ind. D).
Standard delivery, the INRS shock absorber comes in
a polyethylene bag along with a quick link connector
(ind. J, Fig.1/2).
6.9.2. Installing on the tensioner
The following assembly procedure refers to Figure 19
on page 11:
a. Locate the quick connector (Fig. 1/2 ind. J) in one of
the two mooring loops of the INRS shock absorber
