Can I test my air bags??

I just installed a airbag system on my 72. Before I button everything up I'd like to test the system. Is there an easy way to do that. No motor in the truck so can I just hook it to a battery. I have an avs 7 switch wired to accuair manifold with dual compressors.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
CY

A fully charged battery should be all you need.

So the wiring needs to be done under the hood. You think I can just hook it to the battery? I was figuring I needed a switch or something.

I have one on my tank on my 66 since I don't have an engine or battery in it. I fill it with my compressor and use a battery charger to power my valves.
