Monitor bag throughout cool-down period to ensure that hot components do not start a fire.

10. If air bag did not deploy, keep area around deployment site clear of personnel for a minimum of 30

minutes.

11. Remove the air bag from the stack of tires carefully, wearing rubber gloves and eye/face protection to
