Safety Guidelines for the SPACE System
The SPACE system contains components that use combustible chemicals. Because these chemicals are combustible, care must be taken when replacing or handling system components.
Warning: Do not attempt to service the air bag/SPACE system. Damaged or deployed air bag/SPACE systems should be examined only by qualified personnel before any attempt is made to remove, replace, or handle the air bag/SPACE system components. All intentional deployments and testing of the system should be performed by trained personnel. Unintentional or improper deployment of the air bag/SPACE system could cause severe bodily injury or death.
Do not attempt to service or to disassemble the SPACE module. The SPACE module cannot be serviced. Doing so could result in severe bodily injury or death.
Although the air bag/SPACE system components will not likely explode, self-deploy, or produce shrapnel, take care when it is necessary to replace or perform work around the air bag/SPACE system components. Review and comply with the following list of warnings. Failure to do so could result in severe injury or death.
Do not cut, drill, braze, solder, weld, strike, or probe any part of the air bag/SPACE system.
Keep all liquids, acids, halogens, heavy metals, and heavy salts away from the air bag/SPACE system.
Do not expose the air bag/SPACE system components to electricity.
Do not attempt to adapt, reuse, or install an air bag/SPACE system in any vehicle other than the specific vehicle for which it is designed.
Keep hands and tools away from the scissor points under the seats.
Do not cut wires or tamper with the connectors between the vehicle wiring harness and the air bag/SPACE system. Cutting or removing the electrical connectors could cause unintentional deployment.
Do not expose the air bag/SPACE system to electricity. Never probe a circuit.
Store, transport, dispose, and recycle deployed air bag/SPACE system components in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations.
Replace damaged seat belts or seat belts that were worn in an accident, and check all anchoring points. Only qualified personnel familiar with air bag/SPACE systems should replace the seat belts used in a vehicle with an air bag/SPACE system.
The air bag/SPACE system requires a special seat belt. Care must be taken to be sure the correct seat belt is used.
Keep all heavy objects in the cab secured.
