Assembly Instructions

We recommend that you wash the Drink-Aide

®

before its first use.

Please refer to the section entitled “Care for Your Drink-Aide.

®

1. Unscrew the lid and remove all contents from the bottle

(the bottle is wrapped by an insulated sleeve).

2. Verify that the white tube extends at least six inches beyond

the black threaded end of the gray flexible tube holder; adjust
the length if necessary.

3. Hold the gray flexible tube so the black threaded end is

pointing up. Slide 1'' washer over the white tube onto black
threaded end. With top of lid facing down, slide lid over the
white tube onto the 1'' washer, then slide the other 1'' washer
over the white tube onto the lid.

4. Face the flanged or flat side of the white locking nut toward

the 1'' washer and slide locking nut over the white tube onto
the 1'' washer.

5. Screw the locking nut onto the threads of the tube holder;

tighten the locking nut finger-tight; the lid is now held tightly
by the gray tube holder, 1'' washers and white locking nut.

6. Put the long end of the white tube into the bottle (the end of

the clear tube should at least touch the inside bottom of the
bottle) and screw the lid to the top of the bottle.

The Drink-Aide

®

(without liquid contents) is now correctly

assembled. The assembled Drink-Aide

®

may now be placed

within the

bottle holder assembly

depending on your mounting of

the complete device on a wheelchair, bed rail, etc.
