Iveco Daily. Manual - part 311
Pretensioners scrapping
Non-activated pretensioners (not installed on vehicle) must
always
be
activated
before
scrapping.
Non-activated
pretensioners installed on vehicle must not be scrapped
together with the vehicle, but must be previously removed.
Pretensioner not activated during an accident is to be
considered still ”live” and therefore it is necessary to follow the
procedure described in this manual.
Operations on system components
Once servicing operations are completed, the system shall be
tested by Modus, I.W.T. or equivalent diagnostic equipment.
Air-Bag components are provided at installation with a label
with a removable part showing system and components date
of installation.
The removable part is detached and data are stored together
with the test report provided by Modus, by the workshop that
has installed the components.
After 10 years from installation, unless prior replacement, a new
Air-Bag system (cable and components) shall be installed. As
said above components technical data and the date of
installation will be filed.
Removing and scrapping activated Air-Bag
module and pretensioner from vehicle
Always wear gloves and goggles when handling activated
Air-Bag or pretensioner. Wash hands and exposed skin with
water and neutral soap after handling activated Air-Bag or
pretensioner. In case of exposure to secondary products, rinse
eyes immediately with fresh water. Failure to observe these
indications can result in severe injury.
To remove and scrap activated Air-Bag module and
pretensioner proceed as follows:
- follow instructions contained in this manual to remove
activated Air-Bag module and pretensioner;
- disconnect Air-Bag module and pretensioner mechanical
fixings;
- disconnect component connector form Air-Bag wiring;
- put Air-Bag module and pretensioner in the proper sealed
nylon bag;
- send to authorised collection/disposal centre;
- dispose of, recycle or scrap deployed Air-Bag module and
pretensioner using the suitable procedure.
!
After any impact involving pretensioner activation,
the seat belt is unserviceable and must be replaced.
Propelling gas residues shall be considered with attention.
These residues that are mostly concentrated on the generator
body or in small amount in the bag can contain copper or
chlorides (e.g. potassium chloride). Combustion residues are
very alkaline and corrosive.
Always wear skin protections and goggles. Activated Air-Bags
must always be stored in dry and well ventilated places.
!
Never cut the cables or tamper the connector
between vehicle wiring and Air-Bag module.
Connector contains a safety clip.
Removing
and
scrapping
non-activated
Air-Bag module from a repairable vehicle
If connector is cut or removed from Air-Bag unit, the safety
clip is disabled and this can result in unintentional activation
and severe injury.
Air-Bag systems have a backup power supply located in the
control unit. This power supply shall be deactivated by
disconnecting the two battery terminals and waiting for at
least 10 minutes before starting any operation on whatever
Air-Bag component.
Keep the bag and the external bag cover in opposite direction
to body when handling a live Air-Bag module. When placing
a live Air-Bag on the bench or some surface like that, set the
bag and the cover facing upwards and far from people. Never
place objects near a live Air-Bag, since in case of module
deployment objects will be thrown away like shells.
!
Always store live Air-Bag modules an pretensioners
in fresh, dry, close and safe place. Do not expose to
open flames or temperatures exceeding 150
°C.
Never cut, drill, solder or weld an Air-Bag module or
its components. Failure to observe these indications
can result in unit damages, fire, unintentional
deployment and severe injury.
