Setup and Installation
The HSF Aerodrink 880 is designed for easy mounting between aerobars. The new BTA Aerodrink tilt bracket simplifies installation.
Attach the BTA Aerodrink Tilt Bracket:
Position the bracket between your aerobars. Secure it firmly using the provided hardware or zip ties, ensuring it is centered and stable. Refer to the bracket's specific instructions for detailed attachment steps. Some users find a reusable zip tie through the front slits of the bracket provides additional security.

Operating Instructions
Filling the Reservoir:
Open the flip cap on the top of the reservoir. Pour your desired liquid into the 30oz capacity bottle. Close the flip cap securely after filling to prevent spills.
Drinking:
To drink, simply bring the bite valve to your mouth and apply gentle pressure to draw liquid. The flexible hose allows for easy access while maintaining an aerodynamic position.
Straw Position:
The straw can be positioned for optimal access, either from the front or rear port of the bottle, based on rider preference.
Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and hygiene of your hydration system.
Cleaning:
After each use, rinse the bottle, hose, and bite valve thoroughly with warm water. For a deeper clean, use a mild dish soap and a bottle brush. Ensure all components are completely dry before storage to prevent mold or mildew growth.
Storage:
Store the system in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Component Inspection:
Periodically check the hose for cracks, the bite valve for tears, and the flip cap for secure sealing. Replace any worn or damaged parts.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bottle falls out of bracket | Bracket not securely fastened; bottle not fully seated; elastic band broken or not used. | Ensure bracket is tightly secured to aerobars (consider using zip ties for extra security). Push bottle firmly into bracket until it clicks. Replace or use the red elastic band. |
