CONNECTING LIGHT UNITS

CONNECTING FLOWLIGHT TO FLOWLIGHT: 

If you have two or more flowlights in one tube, you will need to attach the 

opposite ends of the flowlight to each other for the lights to fit properly, and 

slide in and out of the tube together. 

Be sure to click them together and apart sideways (laterally as shown in the  

picture), NOT up and down in the direction of the pivot (vertically), as this can 

cause splitting at the seam and loosen the connection.

CONNECTING CAPSULE TO CAPSULE: 

• Remove the o-rings from the leash-port (battery side) of two capsules. 

• Pry open one shell enough to insert the link then reinstall the O-ring. 

• Roll the second capsule’s O-ring over the first’s, then connect the second capsule to 

the link and roll the O-ring onto it. 

It is also possible to install and remove the link by prying and holding the capsule 

open with the O-rings in place - if you have strong fingers! Only two capsules can be 

connected - both buttons should face out.

Compatibility: Capsule links are only compatible with the latest capsule shells 

(released around mid 2013). Some older versions do not separate in a way that would 

allow this link to work properly. Please check our website support page for details. If 

your capsule is not compatible, contact us at [email protected].

INSTALLING FLOWMASS: 
Flowmass is slightly tapered with more material on one end make sure the heavier end 

is installed at the 

far end of your prop, where it will have the most effect

.

Adding mass to tubes:

 

Rub a tiny bit of vaseline/petroleum jelly or other safe grease 

(like lip-balm) to the inside surface of the mass and slide it on to the tube. Ensure that 

there is enough clearance at the top for your end caps to attach properly and securely.

CAPS :: POD SHELL

Intended for use with capsules. 

INSERTING CAPSULES INTO POD SHELLS: 

Capsules MUST have their C-ring 

installed before inserting into pod shell. 

Insert capsule with C-ring into the bot-

tom of the pod shell firmly. Check button for normal operation. If the button 

is difficult to press, check that the capsule is all the way inside the shell and the C-ring is 

properly installed on the capsule. Also check that there is not a C-ring already in the pod.
ATTACHING POD SHELL ONTO TUBE: The pod shell attaches to the tube with a friction 

fit. Push the pod shell over the tube firmly, ensuring the plastic tube is between the cap-

sule and the silicone tube inside the pod that holds the capsule in place. 
Be aware - the tube must be clean, and the edge of the silicone that holds the capsule 

must cover the holes in the tube for a secure fit. Silicone does not stretch or warp like oth-

er plastics, and as long as it is installed correctly the pod cannot fly off during use. You’ve 

been warned. We can’t replace parts that go flying due to inadequate connection! 
Note: Both pod shell and flowcap should connect very firmly to the end of the tube. To 

remove, grip the tube that the cap is connected to, and twist off.
