Things You'll Need:
- 1 hydration pack drinking system
- 2 clothespins
- 1 hanger
-
Step 1
Rinse the hydration pack reservoir several times with warm water prior to use as this will help eliminate any off taste and wash away any dust or accumulated debris.
-
Step 2
Open the external cloth pack and remove the internal reservoir. Remove the large lid from the top of the internal reservoir. Load the reservoir with water.
-
Step 3
Secure the lid when the reservoir is full, and guide the unit back inside the external pack. Ensure the reservoir is situated inside the pack so that the tubing is located at the bottom and the lid is at the top. The side of the reservoir with the tubing attached should be facing the interior lining of the cloth pack.
-
Step 4
Run the tubing through the opening located between the shoulder straps and close the external pack.
-
Step 5
Slide the tubing through one of the loops located on the pack's shoulder straps. Place your arms through the straps to carry the hydration pack across your back. Adjust the straps accordingly to make the fit more comfortable.
-
Step 6
Drink the water from your hydration pack by placing the end of the tube into your mouth and biting down on the plastic nozzle. Give the nozzle a tug to pull it open and apply gentle suction--similar to drinking from a long straw. To close, push the nozzle down.
-
Step 7
Remove the reservoir from the external cloth pack when you are finished using it. Leave the lid open and clip the reservoir to a hanger in an inverted position, with the hose on top, to allow any remaining liquid to drain away.
