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.

SLIDELOCK™CLOSURE
1. The SlideLock™ closure slides
both ways across the top of
the Big Zip™ EVO reservoir to
ensure a leak-proof seal of the
zippered opening.
2. To open the reservoir, slide the
SlideLock toward either end
until it is all the way off. The
attached lanyard ensures it
won’t be dropped or lost.
3. Use the pincher grip to open the
reservoir for one-handed filling
by pinching the arrows together
with one hand and turning on/off
faucet with the other.
4. To close the reservoir, simply
slide the SlideLock device back
across the top of the reservoir
until it stops.
SHUT-OFF VALVE
1. The leak-proof shut-off valve,
which connects the bite valve
to the hydration tube, can be
engaged and disengaged with
an easy twist of the lever.
1A. To start water flow, twist the
lever to line up with the water
droplet icon.
1B. To stop water flow, twist the
lever away from the bite valve
to line up with the tubing.

OWNER’S MANUAL
PLATYPUS CARE
HYDRATION PACK CARE
To get the best performance from your Platypus pack,
follow these basic guidelines:
• Keeping your pack clean will help extend the life of your pack.
• Brush off superficial dirt, or rinse with warm water.
• If necessary, you can hand wash your pack with a sponge and mild soap.
Rinse thoroughly to remove soap residue and hang dry.
DO NOT MACHINE WASH OR TUMBLE DRY YOUR PACK.
• Always empty and dry your pack before storage.
RESERVOIR CARE
To get the best performance from your Big Zip™EVO,
follow these basic guidelines:
• Rinse out your reservoir with warm water after each use.
• Always store your reservoir dry.
• Reservoirs are easy to dry on plastic drying racks, readily available
at most kitchen supply retailers. Dry your reservoir zipper end up for
maximum moisture evaporation. You can also dry with a clean dish
towel due to the wide opening.
• Storing the reservoir in the freezer is also an option. If freezing with
water inside, be aware water expands when it freezes and could
damage your reservoir if overly full. Never store with water in your
drink tube or shut-off valve.
• Never pour water that is hot to the touch into your reservoir as it
can damage the lining.
