How to Use Lug Lids
- 1). Fill the jar or bucket to the fill line with whatever contents you want to store. If you put too much into a single container, the lid will not go on properly.
- 2). Position the lug lid on top of the container, with the lugs pointing down and encircling the sides of the container. Check from the side that lid is flat and resting solidly on the container.
- 3). Place the closing tool on top of the lid with the handles facing directly upward. The jaws below either handle should be positioned directly between the jaws nearest them.
- 4). Hold one handle in each of your hands and press the handles down as far as you can. When the handles come to rest, they should be pointing down instead of up.
- 5). Lift the handles up to release the closing tool, turn it by half of a complete turn, and repeat the closing steps. The tool should be directly between the first lugs you closed.
- 6). Keep turning the tool to center between the previously closed lugs and repeat the closing procedure until the entire lid is sealed.
