20 ton Bottle jack -how to fill up?

My 20 ton bottle jack had its release value partially opened and it got knocked off its side overnight. I think most of the hydraulic fluid is drained out. How to fill it back up? It does not appear to have a fill hole like most 2, 5 or 12 tons jacks do. Do I just fill it up through the bottom release valve?
This is how it looks( mine is a different brand though but looks the same):

I have a 30 ton. On mine there is a small round rubber plug opposite of the side shown in the picture, it's almost smack in the middle of the jack.
