   (1) Do a check for continuity between pin 2 and pin 3 of engine-1 fire-extinguisher bottle 1 (6WE1) with a MULTIMETER - STANDARD.
     (a) If there is no continuity, do the weight check of the engine fire-extinguisher bottle (Ref. AMM TASK 26-21-41-280-001).
     (b) If there is continuity, go to step 4.A.(2).
   (2) Engage the ALLEN KEY 3/32 IN into the test point (Allen key).
CAUTION: TO DO THE MANUAL PRESSURE TEST OF THE ENGINE-FIRE EXTINGUISHER BOTTLE, TURN THE ALLEN KEY CLOCKWISE UNTIL YOU FEEL A FORCE (AT APPROXIMATELY 10 DEGREES). DO NOT TURN THE ALLEN KEY MORE THAN NECESSARY TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE PRESSURE SWITCH.
     (a) Turn the Allen key clockwise (by 10 degrees approximately) until you feel a force, and hold it in this position.
