Arapaho Technologies Inc. www.liquidaider.com Push button hydration system that turns your helmet into a high-power water fountain. LiquidAider Button Instructions LiquidAider™ Terminate thirst at high speed™ Don’t Suck™ Effortless Hydration™ Patented.
Arapaho Technologies Inc. LiquidAider™ Draft May 2019 Instructions This is the full assembly in simple terms: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Mount the button and button shield on your handlebar next to your grip. Replace the suck tube from your hydration bladder with our pump. Connect the battery to the pump and turn it on. Connect long tube to the pump, insert the large half of the magnetic disconnect backflow preventer into the end of the tube.
Arapaho Technologies Inc. LiquidAider™ Draft May 2019 Instructions Here is the button mounted on the handlebar with the button guard. Do not over tighten either the button or the guard. You want to be able to reposition either of them as you ride by rotating one or the other forward or rearward. PUMP The pump is waterproof and has a 90-degree connector that plugs into your hydration bladder. It also has an outlet barbed connection at the top and it has a connector for connecting the battery.
Arapaho Technologies Inc. LiquidAider™ Draft May 2019 Instructions Attach the long tube to the barbed fitting at the top of the pump and tape the antenna along that tube. This positions the antenna in the proper orientation for best results. The battery mates to the pump connector with a click.
Arapaho Technologies Inc. LiquidAider™ Draft May 2019 Instructions HELMET ASSEMBLY The helmet assembly starts at the quick-connect fitting and terminates at the nozzle tip. One or more helmet clips can be used to secure the helmet tube close to the bottom edge of the helmet. Here is the nozzle. Left and right nozzles route the helmet tube according to your right or left shoulder. The tip is removable and can be adjusted with a finger to get the correct aim.
Arapaho Technologies Inc. LiquidAider™ Draft May 2019 Instructions Mount the nozzle in the front of the helmet. Use small zip ties or safety wire to mount the nozzle. If using wire, be careful that you do not damage the nozzle body by over tightening. You will need to exit the front of the helmet with the zip tie or wire. In this assembly the grill screen was cut, but if smaller zip ties or wire were used, no cutting would be required. You do not need a large zip tie like in this photo.
Arapaho Technologies Inc. LiquidAider™ Draft May 2019 Instructions Here is the magnetic disconnect that plugs into the free end of the helmet tube: Use the helmet clips to secure the helmet hose close to the helmet. The helmet clip has barbs to secure it in place. It slides between the removable cheek pads and the shell. The holes allow you to further secure the tube with a small zip tie if desired.

Arapaho Technologies Inc. LiquidAider™ Draft May 2019 Instructions ASSEMBLE FOR USE 1. With the pump battery connected, use the square power button on the pump to turn on the pump. If the pump does not receive a signal in 4 hours, then it will turn off. Press the square power button to turn it back on. 2. Slide the full water bladder, pump, tube, and antenna into the backpack. 3. Route the tube, antenna, and magnetic disconnect backflow preventer out the top of the pack. 4.
Arapaho Technologies Inc. LiquidAider™ Draft May 2019 Instructions 5. Put on your hydration backpack. 6. Put on your helmet and attach the magnet disconnect backflow preventer. The magnetic disconnect back flow preventer will mate easily due to the magnets. It also disconnects easily when you remove your helmet. 7. Pull the helmet tube from the nozzle and suck on it to raise water through the pump and through the backflow connector. This keeps the pumped primed and eliminates air from the pump.
Arapaho Technologies Inc. LiquidAider™ Draft May 2019 Instructions ADJUSTMENTS: You will need to adjust the hose lengths to suit your needs and also to prevent kinking the softer helmet hose. If you mount the tubes over your left shoulder and discover that LiquidAider works only when looking to the right, then you have kinked the soft helmet tube. Trim the soft helmet tube and perhaps relocate one helmet tube clip until you have free range of motion and the tube does not kink.
Arapaho Technologies Inc. LiquidAider™ Draft May 2019 Instructions BUTTON OPERATIONAL NOTES The button operates in “momentary mode” or “burst mode”: Momentary Mode: As long as you press the trigger button, water squirts in your mouth. Burst Mode: One quick trigger button press will squirt water for 2, 3, or 4 seconds. To Set Burst Mode: On the button cap, there are 4 LED lights and a square “mode button”.
Arapaho Technologies Inc. LiquidAider™ Draft May 2019 Instructions PUMP OPERATIONAL NOTES The pump battery will stay on for 4 hours. If the pump is being used, then it will stay on for 4 hours after last use. Even allowing the pump battery to time out, your pump battery should last for most, if not all, of its normal capacity of 40 liters of pumped water. BATTERY OPERATIONAL NOTES The button battery (CR2032 coin cell) should last you a riding season even with frequent use.
Arapaho Technologies Inc. LiquidAider™ Draft May 2019 Instructions PAIRING THE BUTTON AND THE PUMP The LiquidAider pump and button are paired during manufacturing. There is absolutely no way that the button and pump can become accidentally unpaired. You can pair any number of pumps to one single LiquidAider button. This is a great feature for team racing like Baja 1000 where the bike is shared among riders. Each rider needs a complete LiquidAider kit, minus the button.
Arapaho Technologies Inc. LiquidAider™ Draft May 2019 Instructions FEATURES Button and pump are waterproof. Magnetic disconnect backflow preventer pulls apart when removing your helmet. Magnetic disconnect backflow preventer prevents water from freely running out of your disconnected hydration pack. Pair one button to any number of pumps. Pair pumps to other buttons at will. Burst mode settings are adjustable when riding. Button battery should last about a year and is user replaceable.
