6. Clear a space on the ground about 1.85 m (6 ft) in diameter for deployment of the inflator 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.
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.

9. When deploying the I/P module, refer to the following instructions:
9.1.
Place J 39401-B (2) in the center of the cleared area.
9.2.
Fill the deployment fixture with water or sand.
9.3.

9.4.
Securely tighten all fasteners that hold the I/P module (1) to the deployment fixture (2) prior to deployment.
