Lead Acid Battery water level

We have a mobile industry forklift and powered by a lead acid battery. I would like to know if what will be the correct water level of the battery since I cannot find any guide on the manual refilling of the battery. I have attached image of the actual battery.

Thanks in advance.

Fully charge the battery...then the next day fill each cell to the bottom of the plastic insert...no higher...They sell a nice attachment for a hose to set the fill depth and then it cuts off at the correct point every time

I did not see the picture but if lead acid battery just fill above the plates.do not fill all the way to the top because as the battery charges it will gas and boil out the cap. Hope this helps
