  1. Before deploying air bag, inspect operating condition of Deployment Tool (49 H066 002). See INSPECTING DEPLOYMENT TOOL . Disable air bag system. See DISABLING SYSTEM  under DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM.

Position air bag module inside of scrap tire with trim pad facing center of tire. See Fig 2. Using strong wire, attach air bag module to tire, wrapping wire around tire and air bag module bolts least 4 times.
  3. Stack 2 scrap tires under tire which air bag is attached. Connect deployment tool to air bag connector. Place another tire and then a scrap rim and tire assembly on top of entire stack and tie stack together with strong rope. Connect Red clip of deployment tool to positive battery terminal and Black clip of deployment tool to negative battery terminal. Verify deployment tool Red light is on.
