Note:
Cooling times vary based on ambient temperature and workload.
Ice cubes can also be used if there is not enough time to wait for a frozen bladder.
In this case, add ice cubes to the bladder chamber with the roll-top slider and top off with water, taking care not to exceed the fill line.
While ice cubes will provide adequate performance, the cooling time will be reduced.

Preparation

Remove the plastic roll-top slider at the top of the bladder and fill it with water.
Take care not to exceed the fill line.
Replace the roll-top slider.
Lay the bladder flat in a freezer and allow the water to completely freeze for optimum performance.
Note: Ice cubes can also be used if there is not enough time to wait for a frozen bladder.
In this case, add ice cubes to the bladder and top off with water, taking care not to exceed the fill line.
While ice cubes will provide adequate performance, the cooling time will be reduced.

Note: if bladder is not laid flat, or if it was over-filled with water, the quick-connect fittings may freeze and not allow circulation.
If such an instance occurs, simply pour tepid water on the quick-connect fittings until the water in these fittings is melted.

Operation

Connect the supplied tubes to the quick-connect fittings on the bladder.
An audible ‘click’ of the quick-connect fittings ensures a proper connection.
Open the zipper of the Backpack, Univest or Waist pack system and install the frozen bladder by connecting the tube from the bladder’s inlet quick-connect fitting to the quick-connect fitting on the garment (ref. Figure A).
Connect the tube from the bladder’s outlet quick-connect fitting inlet quick-connect fitting on the pump.
The outlet quick-connect fitting on the pump gets connected to the remaining quick-connect fitting on the garment.
The bladder is now ready for use.
Follow instructions on the particular Backpack or Univest system that you purchased for further operating instructions.

Storage

Remove the roll-top slider from the bladder.
Empty all water and hang dry in a cool, dry place for a minimum of 10 hours before long-term storage.
Since this bladder may be used for hydration, ensure that no mold or other foreign substance exits before use.
Use an appropriate cleaner suitable for consumable goods, such as antibacterial dish soap, to thoroughly clean the interior of the bladder.
