Locate the current location of your existing fluid
reservoir. Bladders, insulated coolers or insulated
bottles are all suitable devices. FluidLogic does
not include a container with the kit as each
vehicle requires its own suitable size and location
for the reservoir.
Take the Pod and install the Roll Bar Mount onto
the Pod aer identifying the correct orientation.
The water flows from the “F” of FluidLogic™logo
toward the “C” and outward to the user. Note, the
Roll Bar Mount can be placed on the top or the
bottom of the Pod depending on your preference.

pump by pressing the Microbutton. No fluid is
needed to test the system. Once the Microbutton
is pressed, the pump will make an audible noise
indicating it is operating.
36 37
Find a location on the steering wheel face for
the Microbutton. The location should be within
thumbs reach and easily accessible while driving.

removed from the helmet to show the installation
in the best light possible. Removal of the
microphone in not necessary for installation.
28
Gently slide the AquaCom over the microphone
being careful not to damage the microphone or
the AquaCom.
29 30
Locate the Maglock® Dock. Magnetically attach the Dock to the Hose Side
Maglock®. Before exposing the adhesive tape on
the back of the dock, sit in the vehicle, find a suitable
location to mount the Dock assuring that it doesn’t
interfere with user ingress and egress.
25
Remove the double-stick tape and mount the
Dock in the desired location, usually on the roof.
The adhesive will adhere quickly but allow up to
24hrs for it to completely bond.
26 27
