WARNING
Do not cut or make holes in the sealed parts on the
reservoirs (2).
Turn the reservoirs (2) upside down and place them so
that the sealed parts are over the openings of the
battery cells.
Press on the reservoirs (2) so that the seals break and
the acid is allowed to drain into the battery cells.
NOTE
Ensure that the reservoirs (2) are placed above
the battery vertically, to enable all of the liquid to flow into
the battery.
Leave the reservoirs (2) in place on the battery for
approx. twenty minutes, making sure that the liquid
drains out smoothly.
WARNING
Do not remove the reservoirs (2) from the battery
until all of the liquid has drained.
Should any liquid still be left in the reservoirs (2) once
the twenty minutes are up, tap your fingers on the top
of the reservoirs to help the remaining liquid out.
Lift the reservoirs (2) with care, disengaging them from
the battery.
Place the row of stoppers (3) over the battery cell
openings.
Press down firmly until the tops of the stoppers (3) are
flush with the top of the battery.
WARNING
NEVER attempt to remove the row of stoppers (3) for
any reason.
