If the baery has been neglected and the level is extremely low, manually fill each cell so all plates are covered. Next, charge the baeries before installing and using Qwik-Fill. Filling a baery that has been neglected and then charging it can cause the water level to expand during the charging process, thereby resulng in the loss of electrolyte. Once Qwik-Fill is installed, monthly filling aſter charging will prevent an extremely low water level to occur. Remove exisng vent caps and install valves by simply pushing them in by hand. Link valves together using the provided clear tubing. You may connect up to 18 valves (3 baeries) together into one system. If the baeries are separated by several feet, allow the tubing to sag between baeries. Ensure that the tops of all baeries linked together are at the same level.

ImportantPrior to initial installation, inspect the existing battery water level. If the battery has been neglected and the level is extremely low, manually fill each cell so all plates are covered. Next, charge the batteries before installing and using Qwik-Fill. Filling a battery that has been neglected and then charging it can cause the water level to expand during the charging process, thereby resulting in the loss of electrolyte. Once Qwik-Fill is installed, monthly filling after charging will prevent an extremely low water level to occur.

Remove existing vent caps and install valves by simply pushing them in by hand.

Link valves together using the provided clear tubing. You may connect up to 18 valves (3 batteries) together into one system. If the batteries are separated by several feet, allow the tubing to sag between batteries. Ensure that the tops of all batteries linked together are at the same level.

Install the feed tube near the center of the plumbing layout using the included tee.

Cover the remaining barbs with red end caps.

Insert the squeeze bulb filler assembly into a jug of distilled water. Prime bulb by squeezing until it is filled with water.

Remove the dust cap from the water supply line and connect it to the squeeze bulb filler assembly by snapping the quick couplers together.

Squeeze the bulb with firm pressure to begin pumping water into the battery cells. When the bulb becomes hard, all cells are full.

Immediately disconnect the squeeze bulb filler assembly from the water supply line and replace the dust cap.

Any water remaining in the squeeze bulb filler assembly may be pumped back into the distilled water jug.

ImportantBatteries should only be filled after charging.
