REMOVAL REPLACEMENT AND INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
1. REMOVAL REPLACEMENT AND INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
A. General Information
(1) This manual, in combination with the seat manufacturer’s installation drawings and
instructions, provides the necessary detail to remove and install the AmSafe Inflatable
Restraint System.
(2) ENABLING SWITCH SYSTEMS: IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT THE BUCKLE
HALF OF THE SEATBELT AIRBAG SYSTEM BE FOLDED OVER ON ITSELF, COVERED
AND SECURED PRIOR TO MAINTENANCE OF THE SEATS WITH ENABLING SWITCHES.
This will protect the buckle from any damage and ensure that the AmSafe Seatbelt Airbag
System cannot be accidentally enabled by the buckling of the Inflatable Lap Belt Assembly. If
the seat is dropped or receives a significant impact, an enabled system may deploy the
airbag, which may result in significant risk of injury to personnel. An alternative method of
safing the system is installing a Safety Tie (or equivalent-type tie wrap) through the airbag
belt’s tongue to prevent buckling of the two seatbelt halves.
(3) NON-ENABLING SWITCH SYSTEMS: DISCONNECT THE EMA BEFORE PERFORMING
ANY MAINTENANCE. If the seat is dropped or receives a significant impact, an enabled
system may deploy the airbag, which may result in significant risk of injury to personnel.
(4) If seatbelt airbag replacement is not immediately possible, cover the Inflator nozzle to protect
from debris.
(5) If removing and reinstalling the seat, comply with aircraft manufacturer’s procedures.
WARNING:
THE INFLATOR IS A STORED GAS/ENERGETIC MATERIAL DEVICE.
SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR BODILY HARM MAY BE CAUSED BY
MISUSE AND/OR TAMPERING. DO NOT TAMPER WITH OR MISHANDLE THE
PRODUCT IN ANY WAY. NEVER
ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE INFLATOR TO
SERVICE THE SYSTEM. NEVER APPLY ELECTRICAL CURRENT TO THE
ELECTRONICS CONNECTION.
WARNING
: ENABLING SWITCH SYSTEMS: INADVERTENT CONNECTION OF SEATBELT
HALVES DURING MAINTENANCE COULD CAUSE DEPLOYMENT OF
AIRBAG. THE SAFETY TIE STRAP PREVENTS CONNECTION OF THE
SEATBELT HALVES. THE SAFETY TIE ON THE TONGUE OF AIRBAG BELT
MUST NOT BE PERMANENTLY REMOVED UNTIL AMSAFE SEATBELT
AIRBAG SYSTEM IS INTEGRATED INTO SEAT OEM’S SEAT AND INSTALLED
IN AIRCRAFT.
WARNING
: NON-ENABLING SWITCH SYSTEMS: IF THE AMSAFE AIRBAG SYSTEM HAS
AN END-RELEASE BUCKLE, IT MAY NOT HAVE AN ENABLING SWITCH. AN
AIRBAG SYSTEM WITHOUT AN ENABLING SWITCH IS ALWAYS LIVE
, EVEN
WITH A DISCONNECTED BUCKLE.
