  Q: What safety precautions should be taken when servicing and repairing the seat belt system on Lincoln Blackwood?

  A:

  Safety glasses must be worn while servicing or repairing seat belts because it minimizes potential injuries that could occur during either Air Bag supplemental restraint system deployment or when working with air bag modules or safety belt retractor/pretensioner assemblies. Danger zones around moveable safety belt retractor and pretensioner components require that fingers and clothing must stay at least 6.1 meters (20 feet) away. Remote deployment of this system requires open-air activation with a minimum person distance of 6.1 meters (20 feet). Safety ear protection is necessary because the safety belt pretensioner creates loud noises during its deployment. Removing the safety belt retractor/pretensioner assembly from the vehicle represents the first step for performing this procedure. Trim the electrical wire connector then peel off 25 mm (1 inch) of protective insulation from the wires. Two wires with 20 gauge minimum should be used for this process to connect to the safety belt pretensioner wires. Each wire should measure at least 6.1 meters (20 feet) in length. Position the safety belt retractor/pretensioner assembly flat on a surface while maintaining at least 6.1 meters distance to open outdoor space in order to prevent moveable parts from touching the support beneath. A 6.1-meters (20-feet) distance should be maintained from the assembly while using two wires to activate the safety belt pretensioner by connecting the wires to a 12-volt battery terminals after the other ends go through the belt pretensioner. All safety measures must be followed until the assembly reaches full cooling capacity lasting at least ten minutes before personnel handle the deployed unit. Standard scrapping procedures should be used to get rid of the deployed safety belt retractor/pretensioner assembly.
