CAPS :: FLOWCAP
Your tube-based props come standard with flowcaps. The flowcap is compatible with both
flowlights and capsule lights, and securely clicks into any flowtoys 1” polycarbonate tubes.
FLOWTOYS MODULAR SYSTEM - INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS FOR LIGHTS
Modular system props are compatible with both flowlights and capsule lights - instructions
for your lights are included in a separate manual with your prop.
CAPS :: POD SHELL
Pod shells are intended for use with capsule lights only. Can be used as caps for staff ends.
Pod shells provide great rotational inertia for staffs and baton ends, but are not recommend-
ed for other tubing-based props like flowpoi, rope darts, chucks and clubs.
INSERTING CAPSULES INTO POD SHELLS:
Capsules MUST have their C-ring installed before inserting into pod shell.
Insert capsule
with C-ring into the bottom 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 capsule 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 out, warp, or relax like
other plastics, and as long as it is installed correctly the pod cannot fly off during use. You
have been warned. We will not replace parts that go flying due to inadequate connection!
DETACHING/ATTACHING FLOWCAPS TO TUBES:
• To detach, twist firmly to release the buttons and pull.
• To attach, place cap over tube, push and twist until snap-but-
tons click into the holes.
ATTACHING/DETACHING FLOWLIGHTS TO FLOWCAPS:
• Push the narrow “head” of the flowlight into the adaptor, then
insert fladaptor into the flowcap.
• Twist until the adaptor clicks into place. The sides of the light
should align with the buttons in the cap.
• To remove the adaptor with the light, push the button on the
cap while twisting the light.
• To leave the adaptor in the cap, pull light out while gripping
the cap.
Tip: If your flowcaps feel squeaky when attaching to the tubing, you can lubricate the connection
with a tiny bit of grease - often the oils from your hand are enough to remove the “stiction” between
the plastics, and give you a nice smooth connection.
ATTACHING CAPSULES TO FLOWCAPS: Your capsules should not have a C-ring in-
stalled. Insert capsule into flowcap button side first. Twist until it settles into place. The
“shoulders” at the end of the capsule must be aligned with the buttons in the cap for it
to fit in the tube. You’ll feel a small wiggle - this is normal.
