bicarbonate (baking soda). Therefore, it is unlikely that sodium hydroxide will be present after deployment. As a precaution, however, gloves and safety
glasses are recommended to prevent any possible irritation of the skin or eyes.
Caution:
Safety precautions must be observed when handling a deployed inflator module. After deployment, the metal surfaces of the inflator module will be very
hot. Allow the inflator module to cool before handling any metal portion of it. Do not place the hot deployed inflator module near any flammable objects.
Failure to follow procedures may result in fire or personal injury.
After an inflator module has been deployed, the metal canister and surrounding areas of the inflator module will be very hot. Do not touch the metal
areas of the inflator module for about 10 minutes after deployment. If the deployed inflator module must be moved before it is cool, wear gloves and
handle by the air bag or vinyl trim. Refer to Figure 8.
22.
Put on a pair of shop gloves to protect your hands from possible irritation and heat when handling the deployed inflator module.
23.
Disconnect the pigtail adapter from the inflator module as soon after deployment as possible to avoid the possibility of damage to the pigtail
adapter or universal deployment harness due to possible contact with the hot inflator module canister. The pigtail adapter and universal
deployment harness are designed to be reused. They should, however, be inspected for damage after each deployment and replaced if necessary.
24.
Dispose of the deployed inflator module through normal refuse channels after it has cooled for at least 10 minutes. See Section 9J, in the
appropriate service manual.
25.
Wash your hands with mild soap and water afterward.
Notice:
The remaining steps are to be followed in the unlikely event that the inflator module did not deploy after following these procedures.
26.
Make certain that the universal deployment harness has been disconnected from the power source and that its two banana plugs have been shorted
together by fully seating one banana plug into the other.
27.
Disconnect the pigtail adapter from the inflator module.
Caution:
When storing a live inflator module or when leaving a live inflator module unattended on a bench or other surface, always face the bag and trim cover up
away from the surface. This is necessary so that a free space is provided to allow the air bag to expand in the unlikely event of accidental deployment.
Failure to follow procedures could result in personal injury.
28.
Temporarily store the inflator module with its soft vinyl trim cover facing up, away from the surface on which it rests.
29.
Wash your hands with mild soap and water afterward.
