German term or phrase: entlasten and Nippel
I would use "to release" and "nipple" for these two words, but am not sure:
Seilabhängung
Seilenden dürfen keine spanunnungsführende Teile berühren

- Seilhalter an Leuchte anschrauben
- Seile in die Seilhalter einführen
- Leuchte tiefer hängen:
- Seil entlasten
- Nippel oben auf dem Seilhalter niederdrücken
- Leuchte in gewünschte Höhe bringen
- Die nicht benötigte Seillänge kann aufgewickelt werden,
um eine nachträgliche Höhenverstellung der Leuchte zu
ermöglichen.
