Opening a metal jerry can involves releasing the latch mechanism and removing the cap from the can's neck. Here's a breakdown:
-
Locate the Latch: The jerry can lid is secured by a latch mechanism, typically a metal bar that clamps down on the lid.
-
Release the Latch: Lift or maneuver the latch to disengage it from the lid. The specific design of the latch might vary slightly between different jerry can models, but the general principle is the same: you need to release the tension holding the lid closed.
-
Open the Cap: Once the latch is released, you should be able to lift the cap from the neck of the can. At this point, the can is ready for pouring.
