IMPORTANT:
PLEASE COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND ALL USER INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY INFORMATION BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT. AS WITH ANY HIGH TECH PRODUCT YOU
WILL NEED TO ROUTINELY CHECK FOR LOOSE HARDWARE, CRACKS OR OTHER DAMAGE AND REPLACE ITEMS AS NECESSARY.
DO NOT USE PRODUCT IF ANY OF THESE CONDITIONS EXIST.
STEP 1 MINI MOUNT AND CAGE ATTACHMENT
1. REMOVING BOTTLE. Hold Mount and twist bottle clockwise,
lift nose and pull bottle forward and out of the cage. Figure (A)
2. REMOVING CARDBOARD PLATFORM. Using 4mm Allen wrench and 8mm open ended wrench loosen the two screws. Tear off the cardboard.
3. POSITIONING CAGE AND MINI MOUNT. Ensure the rear screw is as at the rear
of the cage and in the rear of the slot in the Mount Figure (B). IMPORTANT: Make
sure that the black spacer is positioned just underneath the rear screw head, followed
by the M5 at washer before putting the screw through the cage. Ensure the Aero
Spacers have the tails pointing to the rear of the Mount. Figure (C) Tighten the
screws.
4. INSERT 4 STRAPS ONTO MOUNT. Install per Figure (D) with buckles beneath the mount.
5. ATTACHING MOUNT. Lay the Mount onto the aerobars. Position the rear straps as far back on the bars as possible.
If any parts of the mount or screws touch the stem, then add the Velcro Pads to the mount. Figure (E)
Thread straps through buckles and tighten.
6. CHECKING CAGE HEIGHT. Standing opposite a mirror put your arms in the aerobars.
If the bottle shows more above your arm then use the smaller spacers.
If the bottle shows more below your arm then use the larger spacers. It may be that
no spacers are used in order to get the proper height. Tighten screws to 30 in lbs. of torque.
Figure (F) & Figure (G)
7. FINAL STRAP TIGHTENING. The non-slip silicone on the straps should be touching the aerobars.
Center the Mount and tighten opposite straps. Then go back and re-tighten all straps
to ensure all straps are as tight as you can get them. Make sure that the reinforced
(double thickness) section of the polyester strap is in the slot on the TORPEDO
MINI MOUNT. Figure (H)

STEP 2 BOTTLE INSTALL
1. EASY INSTALL. Rotate the bottle clockwise approximately 1/2 inch. Push rearwards, ensuring the rear tab of the
cage slides into the rear bottle recess. Next ensure the rear cage screw head clicks into the long recess on
the bottom of the bottle. The rear cage tab should now sit against the vertical surface inside the back of the
bottle. Figure (I) Please see video online www.xlab-usa.com/torpedo-system
2. DOLPHIN TAIL INSTALL. Decide if you want to fold your straw or keep it upright. If you decide to keep it upright,
set the DOLPHIN TAIL straw retainer and screw aside. In order to fold your straw you will need to use the
DOLPHIN TAIL straw retainer. Using a 2.5 mm Allen wrench and the supplied M4X20mm screw, attach the
Tail into the top of the bottle. Torque to 10 in. lbs maximum. Figure (J)
3. STRAW INSTALL. Determine which hole is best suited for you. Install the plug from the inside of the bottle. Start the
plug at an angle and push up around the perimeter of plug. Ensure the top of the plug is completely through the hole.
The straw is designed to t tightly in the straw hole to prevent leaking. To best insert the straw, pinch and fold the
end of the straw while pushing it into the hole. For the straw to be vertical, tuck the end of the straw
behind the groove in the bottom of the bottle. Figure (K) If you intend to fold the straw down then
place the bottom of the straw in front of the bottle groove. After each ride, gradually trim the straw to
your optimum length. Be sure to trim the straw opposite the bite valve. The bite valve is permanently
installed in the straw.
4. LID INSTALL. The split lid provides the fastest relling but there may be some splashing over bumps.
The solid lid will be much dryer but there is a very small breather hole that may emit very small
amounts of liquid at times. Choose whichever you prefer. The solid lid has a tether hole.
Put the straw through this hole to avoid losing the lid when relling. Figure (L)
STEP 3 COMPUTER INSTALL
The TORPEDO SYSTEM is designed to be used with or without a computer in front of the
bottle for optimal visibility and functionality. Figure (M) & Figure (N)
1. Mount the XLAB AERO COMPUTER MOUNT on the nose of the TORPEDO MINI MOUNT with the supplied hardware.
2. Place the black 16mm long M5 screw through AERO COMPUTER MOUNT, through
the M5X15mm washer, through the M5 lock washer, through the TORPEDO MOUNT,
through the M5 at washer and into the M5 nylon insert lock nut. Figure (O)
3. The front edge of the computer should sit slightly behind the rider’s wrist. Slide the mount along the slot on the TORPEDO MOUNT
to accomplish this placement and tighten completely to 30 in. lbs of torque.
