Preparing the mounting fixture

Fill the plastic container in the fixture completely with water to maximize stability.
Position the fixture with the mounting grooves up.

Install suitable mounting brackets in suitable grooves on the fixture without tightening.
Select a groove in the fixture so that upon installation the airbag is centered as much as possible in the fixture. This is to avoid the risk of overturning.
