5. Place the inflator module with the vinyl trim cover facing up and away from the surface on a work bench.
6. Clear a space on the ground about 1.85 m (6 ft) in diameter for deployment of the inflator module or deployment fixture. If possible, use a paved,
outdoor location free of activity. Otherwise, use a space free of activity on the shop floor. Make sure you have sufficient ventilation.
7. Make sure no loose or flammable objects are in the area.
Important: Dual stage deployments are only used in steering wheel and I/P inflator modules. If stage 1 was used to deploy a dual stage
inflator module, stage 2 may still be active. If disposal of a deployed or undeployed dual stage module is required both deployment loops
must be energized to deploy the air bag.
8. If you have a steering wheel inflator module, place the inflator module in the center of the space.
9. If you have an I/P inflator module, refer to the following instructions:
*
Place the J 39401-B (2) in the center of the cleared area.
*
Fill the deployment fixture with water or sand.
*
Using the proper nuts and bolts, mount the I/P module (1) to the deployment fixture (2), with the vinyl trim facing up.
*
Securely tighten all fasteners that hold the I/P module (1) to the deployment fixture (2).
