CAUTION: When you are carrying an undeployed inflator module:
^
Do not carry the Inflator module by the wires or connector on the inflator module.
^
Make sure the bag opening points away from you.
When you are storing an undeployed inflator module, make sure the bag opening points away from the surface on which the inflator module
rests. When you are storing a steering column, do not rest the column with the bag opening facing down and the column vertical. Provide free
space for the air bag to expand in case of an accidental deployment. Otherwise, personal injury may result.
11. Place the inflatable restraint steering wheel module with its vinyl trim cover facing up and away from the surface on a work bench or another
surface (Figure 19).
12. Place the inflatable restraint steering wheel module away from all loose or flammable objects.
13. Clear a space on the ground about 1.85 m (6 ft.) in diameter where you intend to deploy the inflatable restraint steering wheel module. 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.
14. Make sure no loose or flammable objects are within the deployment area (Figure 20).
15. Place the inflatable restraint steering wheel module in the space just cleared, with its vinyl trim cover facing up (Figure 20).
16. Extend the SIR Deployment Harness and the pigtail adapter to full length from the inflatable restraint steering wheel module (Figure 21).
17. Place a power source near the shorted end of the SIR Deployment Harness. Use a vehicle battery when available, but always use a power source
that complies to the following:
