     (a) Close the door of the emergency oxygen container:
CAUTION: DO NOT USE TOO MUCH FORCE TO CLOSE THE EMERGENCY OXYGEN CONTAINER. IF YOU USE TOO MUCH FORCE, YOU CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE LATCH MECHANISM. IF THE LATCH MECHANISM DOES NOT ENGAGE EASILY, MAKE SURE THAT THE EQUIPMENT IN THE EMERGENCY OXYGEN CONTAINER IS CORRECTLY INSTALLED.
       1 Push the door of the emergency oxygen container to the closed position.
       2 Push the door of the emergency oxygen container, at the two sides of the test button, to lock the latch mechanism.
       3 Make sure that the door is flush with the adjacent panels.
       4 Do step a_ or step b_ as applicable.
         a Turn the test button 90 degrees to the normal position.
NOTE: Spring tension retracts the test buttons automatically when they are in the normal position.
         b Push the test button back to the normal position and let them retract into their containers.
NOTE: Spring tension retracts the test buttons automatically when they are in the normal position.
   (2) In the cockpit, on the OXYGEN section of overhead panel 21VU, make sure that the switch guard is in position on the MASK MAN ON pushbutton switch.
   (3) Make sure that the work area is clean and clear of tools and other items.
