•
Belt tensioners, which have fallen down from a height of more than 0.5 m must be replaced and must
by no means be installed in the vehicle.
•
When replacing damaged components such as belt tensioners and lines, the inspection may only be performed using
approved testing equipment and only when those components are installed.
The use of unapproved measuring devices bears the risk of an undesired triggering.
•
Attention must be paid to the following when an external power source or battery is connected for the first time:
1. The ignition is on
2. No personnel in the passenger compartment
3. External power source or battery is connected
•
In the Federal Republic of Germany, belt tensioners must be detonated prior to scrapping according to the respective
regulations for the prevention of industrial accidents. This makes it impossible to remove pyrotechnic devices from the
scrap yard for re-use or repair.
These safety measures are necessary to prevent possible injuries resulting from improper activation of pyrotechnic devices.
A significant risk is involved in the waste disposal site when not detonated components are flame cut, smelted or thrown
into fire or smouldering fire.
When detonating, make sure a safe distance of at least 10 m is maintained!
•
To prevent costly additional work, we recommend you to order the scrapping work be done by a scrap dealer who is able to
perform this work according to the required safety standards for pyrotechnic devices. When handing over those
components, the scrap dealer must sign a declaration committing him to scrap pyrotechnic devices according to the
respective regulations for the prevention of industrial accidents.
