there's a tube with an air filter on which plugs into a rubber bit on the side of the reservoir. Pull that pipe off the rubber bit, leaving the rubber bit on the reservoir.
Then just plug the pipe from the bottle into that, turn the bottle upside and spill the oil everywhere.
Repeat until full or you run out of oil.

Yeah don't try to fill it up "through" the air filter cause its bloody hard work

Some shops take the filler tube off the bottle and "forget" to give it to you when you buy it...

FWIW the destructions say pull the black rubber bit out of the side of the reservoir and fill through the hole in the side, and don't overfill

Then says "make certain that the nose of the filler plug is correctly located when refitting".

No, not like that.

You only have to go through the airfilter thing wehn purging the system (When it runs out of oil completely

)
