SAFEGUARDS AND PRECAUTIONS

This guide outlines basic safeguards in using your owtoys. The information presented cannot cover all possible circum-

stances that may occur. In using any owtoy, the user understands that common sense and caution cannot be built into the

product, and must be provided by him/herself. Please read all instructions before using your toys.

1. Flowtoys are intended for practice, play, performance and meditation. Do not use for any other purpose.

2. Do not use products under the inuence of alcohol or drugs. Consult prescription labels to determine if a particular drug

would impair your judgment or reexes. If so, do not use this product.

3. Stay alert and use common sense. Do not use this product when tired or distracted. Be aware when in the presence of

fragile or breakable objects.

BEFORE USE: Check for damaged parts before using any product. Ensure caps, connectors and battery doors are fully

secured. Most owtoys are made of individual pieces that can separate during use if not properly assembled.

GENERAL CARE: Repair or replace damaged or worn parts before use. Do not use damaged products.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE: Maintain all Flowtoys products with care. Store in a clean, dry environment. Avoid

unnecessary exposure to sunlight: UV rays will weaken most plastics over time.

UNAUTHORIZED COMPATIBLE PRODUCTS: Our products should not be combined with products or parts from other

manufacturers, unless specically authorized by us and such other manufacturers. Any unauthorized product

combination may void the warranty of our products and other manufacturers’ products.

WARNING: This product is not intended for use by children age 14 and under.

Flowtoys Composite System

Com·pos·ite: (adjective) made up of various parts or elements.

Composite material: (noun) a combination of two or more distinct materials, each of

which retains its own distinctive properties, to create a new material with properties that

cannot be achieved by any of the components alone.

The Flowtoys Composite System is an extension of our Modular System and combines

high-performance materials typically used in the aerospace and racing industries to

provide incredible equipment for ow. Thin and lightweight, yet super-strong and rigid

carbon ber shafts for optimum comfort and performance. Transparent yet impact-re-

sistant polycarbonate end-tubes. Soft and clear, yet incredibly durable silicone end caps

for maximum glow and protection. Versatile modular components to enable the perfect

combination of style, length and weight for you!

Made with the same high-tech materials that took humanity to space, your Composite

Flowtoys will help take your ow practice to new dimensions. The world just became a

little more awesome for all of us.

1. Do not use glowsticks or WD-40 with tubing. While polycarbonate is very

strong, it breaks down in the presence of certain esters, including those produced by

chemical glowsticks, mineral spirits and WD-40. Do NOT put chemical glowsticks into

the tubes, otherwise they can become brittle and shatter. If you need to, we recom-

mend lubricating tube parts with vaseline/petroleum jelly.

2. Modularity. Check your components! Most composite system parts are modular

and interchangeable, but not all sizes or all parts go together. A 12mm shaft needs a

12mm connector. Flowlights require an adaptor for the cap and will not t in a

1-capsule tube (for example). Pod shells require C-rings on capsules. Find more tips

for your rig in this guide!

3. Make sure all caps are fully secured before use! Check that the buttons in your

caps are fully clicked into tubing holes.

4. Clean your grip!

Grip can wear out with use and is aected by oils from our skin. To prolong the life of

your grip, clean it after heavy use and before long periods of storage. Use rubbing al-

cohol and a cloth, OR a cloth with warm soapy water to remove oils from the grip. Wipe

away any soap residue with clean water. If your owcaps get dirty, you can clean them

with soap and warm water, or put them in the wash with your laundry: air-dry, no heat!

THINGS TO KNOW :: BEFORE YOU FLOW

FLOWTOYS COMPOSITE SYSTEM - COMPONENTS

FLOWLIGHT-FS: World’s most revolutionary LED glowstick. Beautifully

sculpted polycarbonate shell refracts full spectrum LEDs. 40 adjustable

modes with many bright and beautiful color options, kinetic awareness,

accelerometer response, battery and charge level indicators and more.

1 rechargeable AAA provides 3-27 hours run-time. Connect as many as you

like to ll your tubes with lights.

CAPSULE LIGHT: Incredibly strong polycarbonate shell diuses 12 LEDs

into a single pixel of a million colors. MicroUSB rechargeable Li-ion battery

for 6-77 hour run-time! Link up to 2 together. Intuitive one-button interface

and “kinetic awareness”enable you to select and adjust a virtually innite

variety of amazing light patterns.

1”TUBES: Highest quality polycarbonate extrusion, transparent yet virtu-

ally bulletproof, connects to caps and connectors via snap-button holes.

Available in a variety of interchangeable lengths for instant reconguration.

CARBON FIBER SHAFT: Custom woven carbon ber composite with

smooth, glossy nish, 12mm and 15mm diameters. Thin and light-weight

yet super-strong and rigid, enabling eortless ow.

ELASTOMER GRIP: 1mm thick tubing of a proprietary elastomer blend (our

supplier won’t even tell us the formula!). Incredibly grippy and durable, yet

translucent. Encases carbon ber shafts for seamless grip.

SCREW-IN CONNECTORS: Identical halves compress 1mm elastomer

against a composite shaft to create a rm connection. #1 phillips screws

secure tube. Use a #1 phillips screwdriver to break down sta for travel.

FLOWCAP: Thick, soft, durable silicone body. Inner polycarbonate snap-

cap buttons snap securely onto tubes and release with a rm twist. Built-in

button compatible with capsule lights; connects to owlights with adaptor.

FLOWLIGHT ADAPTOR: Allows you to connect owlights to owcaps. Pops

on and o easily, but will not release owlight when inside a tube.

POD SHELL: Beautiful, thick, super-soft and durable silicone, built-in

button compatible with capsule lights, strategic internal petal-ribs provide

structure and focus mass at the bottom for great rotational inertia. Pod

shells attach to tubes with a friction t - please read instructions and

use caution.

FLOWMASS: These translucent crystalline-looking weights add more

inertia to your ow and optimize the balance of your sta. Add two or more

if you like your tools heavy!

CAPSULE LINK: Tiny but tough, this link ts inside leash-ports of 2 capsules

to link them securely inside tubes. Leaves both buttons accessible.

More components, details and info available on www.owtoys.com

CONNECTING SHAFT TO TUBE:

Your composite prop should come assembled and

ready to go. If you need to replace a part, and re-as-

semble your shaft, here’s how:

To attach connector to shaft: Place compression

connector over the end of the shaft. Be sure to push it down all the way, bang it on the

ground to ensure it gets past the nal inner seal.

Use #1 Phillips screwdriver to secure screws to the carbon ber shaft.

Important! Do NOT use other size screwdriver or you will strip the screws!

To attach connectors to tube: Line up the 1” tube holes with the connector buttons, and

push tube rmly down to the connector buttons.

Connector sizing: We have 2 shaft sizes – 12mm and 15mm, and 2 connector sizes to

match. Please be sure you are using the correct connector - it should t very rmly.

Note: The connector o-ring helps keep the connector on the shaft when it is not inserted

into the tube. It’s useful, but not necessary to the performance of your prop. If you break or

lose it, you can order more from owtoys.com.

COMPOSITE SYSTEM OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

REMOVING/ATTACHING FLOWCAPS FROM TUBES:

To detach, twist rmly to release the buttons and pull.

To install, place cap over tube, push and twist until the snap-but-

tons click into holes.

ATTACHING CAPSULE LIGHTS TO FLOWCAPS:

Insert capsule into owcap, button side in. Twist and push until it

settles. The seams of the capsule must be aligned with the buttons

inside the cap for it to t in the tube.

ATTACHING FLOWLIGHTS TO FLOWCAPS:

Push the narrow “head”of the owlight into the adaptor, then

insert into the owcap. Twist until the adaptor clicks into place.

The sides of the light should align with the buttons in the cap.

To remove the adaptor with the light, push the button on the cap

while twisting the light.

To leave the adaptor in the cap, pull the capsule light out while

gripping the cap.

CAPS :: FLOWCAPS

Your tube-based props come standard with owcaps. The

owcap is compatible with both owlights and capsule

lights and securely clicks into owtoys tubes.

USING YOUR END CAPS Tip: If you nd it dicult to

remove the owcap from your

tube, check your grip.

You may be holding the inter-

nal buttons against the tube,

and preventing their release.

CONNECTING LIGHT UNITS

CONNECTING FLOWLIGHT TO FLOWLIGHT:

If you have two or more owlights in one tube, you will need to attach the

opposite ends of the owlight to each other for the lights to t properly, and

slide in and out of the tube together.

Be sure to click them together and apart sideways (laterally as shown in the

picture), NOT up and down in the direction of the pivot (vertically), as this can

cause splitting at the seam and loosen the connection.

CONNECTING CAPSULE TO CAPSULE:

• Remove the o-rings from the leash-port (battery side) of two capsules.

• Pry open one shell enough to insert the link then reinstall the O-ring.

• Roll the second capsule’s O-ring over the rst’s, then connect the second capsule to

the link and roll the O-ring onto it.

It is also possible to install and remove the link by prying and holding the capsule

open with the O-rings in place - if you have strong ngers! Only two capsules can be

connected - both buttons should face out.

Compatibility: Capsule links are only compatible with the latest capsule shells

(released around mid 2013). Some older versions do not separate in a way that would

allow this link to work properly. Please check our website support page for details. If

your capsule is not compatible, contact us at support@owtoys.com.

INSTALLING FLOWMASS:

Flowmass is slightly tapered with more material on one end—make sure the heavier end

is installed at the far end of your prop, where it will have the most eect.

Adding mass to tubes: Rub a tiny bit of vaseline/petroleum jelly or other safe grease

(like lip-balm) to the inside surface of the mass and slide it on to the tube. Ensure that

there is enough clearance at the top for your end caps to attach properly and securely.

CAPS :: POD SHELL

Intended for use with capsules.

INSERTING CAPSULES INTO POD SHELLS: Capsules MUST have their C-ring

installed before inserting into pod shell. Insert capsule with C-ring into the bot-

tom of the pod shell rmly. Check button for normal operation. If the button

is dicult to press, check that the capsule is all the way inside the shell and the C-ring is

properly installed on the capsule. Also check that there is not a C-ring already in the pod.

ATTACHING POD SHELL ONTO TUBE: The pod shell attaches to the tube with a friction

t. Push the pod shell over the tube rmly, ensuring the plastic tube is between the cap-

sule and the silicone tube inside the pod that holds the capsule in place.

Be aware - the tube must be clean, and the edge of the silicone that holds the capsule

must cover the holes in the tube for a secure t. Silicone does not stretch or warp like oth-

er plastics, and as long as it is installed correctly the pod cannot y o during use. You’ve

been warned. We can’t replace parts that go ying due to inadequate connection!

Note: Both pod shell and owcap should connect very rmly to the end of the tube. To

remove, grip the tube that the cap is connected to, and twist o.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Can I break down my sta into shorter pieces for travel?

Yes you can. The shortest you can break it down is the carbon ber shaft length. Use a #1 Phillips

head screwdriver to remove the screws from the screw-in compression connector. You should

be able to pull the polycarbonate tubes o the connector. You can leave the connectors on the

carbon ber shaft, or remove them as well.

Tips: Keep screws safely stored in a baggie! And only use a #1 Phillips head. You may be tempted

to use a #2, coz it’s more common, but it will likely strip the screws.

My owcap won’t release from the tube.

Make sure to grip the top end of your owcap when removing it. If you grip lower down the cap,

the silicone can press against the tubing and stick, making it harder to remove.

My capsule lights are falling out of the owcap.

When installing capsule lights into a owcap, make sure to TWIST until you hear a click. A prop-

erly installed light will have a very secure t - shake the owcap vigorously to make sure the light

doesn’t fall out.
