paper wrapping. Hold by ground edges of window.
3. Insert the cell window in to the circular section of the seal.
Note: Make sure that the larger diameter faces down when inserted in to the
cell seal.
4. Place the wet cell cover plate on to a flat surface. The seal cavity must face up.
5. Hold the ends of the seal, and pick up the cell seal and window assembly. Turn it
over so that the circular section is faces downward. Place over the seal cavity of the
cover plate and line up the lugs on the seal with the cut-outs in the circular meas-
urement area of the cover plate, then place it carefully to rest on top of the plate
— do not insert the assembly yet.
6.
Without touching the exposed window face, push the circular section of the seal
into place in the measurement area of the cover plate and rock the seal and win-
dow down.
