OWNER’S MANUAL
TUBE ROUTING
Preface: Shoulder and sternum strap adjustments should be determined before adjusting and
routing the hydration tube, as pack fit adjustments affect the amount of hydration tube exposed.
QUICK-DISCONNECT
ROUTE THE TUBE
1.
To disconnect the hydration tube
from the reservoir, locate the
quick-disconnect port at the
top of the reservoir. Press the
button at the port to release the
hydration tube connector.
1.
Thread the bite valve and tube
through the two webbing loops
on the shoulder strap of your
choosing. (Note: Routing the
drink tube over the right shoul-
der is recommended, as it allows
the bite valve to automatically
return and reattach to the mag-
netic clip; however, the drink
tube can be routed over the left
strap, if desired.)
2.
Locate the magnet clip attached
to the tube and connect it to
the magnet clip found on the
shoulder strap.
4.
Put the pack on to verify desired
location of bite valve and mag-
netic clip; adjust as necessary
to optimize fit and bite valve
location.
5.
The magnetic tube clip provides
easy access to hydration—when
set up correctly, the magnets are
designed to reattach hands-free
after letting go of the bite valve.
2A.
For optimal performance, when
routing the tube over the right
shoulder, position the magnet-
ic clip 3-4 inches (7.6–10.2
cm) from the bite valve.
3A.
Alternatively, you may cut the
tube to a preferred length.
(Note: When trimming the
tube, do so from the bite valve
end of the tube, removing the
connector from the tube, trim-
ming the tube to your preferred
length, then replacing the
connector.)
2.
To reconnect the hydration tube,
simply insert the quick-discon-
nect connector back into the port
on the reservoir until it clicks.
2B.
Alternatively, you can route
the tube over the left shoulder
strap, routing the tube across
the chest and securing the bite
valve on the right shoulder
strap.
3.
Store any extra hydration tube
length inside the pack in the
hydration pocket, taking care to
not kink the tube.
