(2)
Immerse the valves (3) and their O-rings (4) in distilled or de-ionized water,
and let them soak to dissolve any salts.
(3)
Cover the cells (2) with a clean damp cloth to prevent entry of foreign matter.
(4)
Check the liquid level in the cell:
(a)

If the liquid level is too low, the syringe will remain empty,
indicating that the end of the syringe nozzle did not reach the
liquid in the cell.
Any excess liquid in the cell will be drawn into the syringe
until the electrolyte is level with the end of the nozzle. This is
the correct level for the electrolyte.
