Note to Dealers: If you install this product for the consumer, please provide him/her with this owner's manual after

Thank you for purchasing the HSF Aeria. Please read these instructions thoroughly before attempting to install this
accessory. Proper installation is required for compliance with the Profile Design warranty policy. If you need help with this
installation, please seek the assistance of your local Profile Design dealer by logging on to www.profile-design.com and
using "dealer search" or by calling the Profile Design customer service number.
The included bracket is compatible with the Profile Design Aeria Ultimate Stem. It will not fit on standard stems with front
address face clamps.
Installing the HSF Aeria
For first time installation of a pre-assembled HSF Aeria
1. Affix the bracket to the underside of the Aeria Ultimate stem using the supplied M5x 16mm & M5x 14mm bolts.
Tighten to 2Nm/20kgf-cm The curve of the bracket should sit snugly against the curvature of the stem base, with the
lower rail horizontal.
2. Attach the rubber shroud to the back of the bottle by pressing against the sides of the shroud to expand the retention
groove. Allow this to close around the matching T-rail on the back of the of the bottle
3. Slide the bottle on to the bracket, first ensuring that the socket is lined up with the mounting rail. Push firmly until you
hear the retention clip click into place. Verify that the bottle is securely attached by attempting to pull it off (without first
disengaging the clip)
4. To remove the bottle press the back of the retention clip beneath the stem, this will allow the bottle to slide forward
5. Examine the fit between the shroud and the frame, if the shroud is pressed against the frame you may wish to carefully
make a vertical cut to reduce the interference. We suggest using a sharp cutting tool with appropriate caution to
remove material in steps. Please remove the bottle/shroud first to avoid the risk of damaging your frame and brake/
shift cables
Please note that the HSF Aeria is only compatible with the Profile Design Aeria Ultimate stem. It cannot be fitted to
any other Profile Design stem or the products of any other manufacturer.
Assembling the HSF Aeria
If your HSF Aeria system has been disassembled, take the following steps to prepare it for installation:
1. Fit the fill port gasket and straw o-ring to the bottle. We suggest you ensure your hands are clean before touching any
of the bottle parts that come into contact with your hydration
2. Affix the cover to the bottle, push firmly until the clips latch on both sides
3. If you wish to mount a computer, attach the computer mount to the nose. Torque the M5x 18mm bolt to 2Nm/20kgf-cm.
4. If you do not intend to fit a computer, attach the nose cover. Torque the M5x 18mm bolt as same level as front cap.
5. Install the straw carefully to ensure the o-ring is not pushed out or twisted
6. Slide the magnet on to the straw, setting it at a distance that allows a good connection with the magnet in the cover
7. If you are using risers and a bridge on the Profile Design Aeria Ultimate bars, you can choose to affix the satellite
magnet mount to the bridge to allow simpler hose management
WARNING
• Any failure to follow these warnings and instructions can result in breakage, slippage and or other malfunctioning of this Profile Design component causing a loss of control of the bicycle with serious injuries. [AP1100-1-1]
• Whenever you install any new component on your bike make sure you thoroughly try it out close to home (with your helmet) where there are no obstacles or traffic. Make sure everything is working properly before going off on a ride or to a
race. [AP1100-5-1]
• Racing (road, mountain or multi-sport) places extreme stress on bicycles and their components (like it does riders) and significantly shortens their usable life. If you participate in these types of events, the lifetime of the product may be
significantly shortened depending upon the level and amount of racing. The "normal wear" of a component may differ greatly between competitive and non-competitive uses, which is why professional level riders often use new bikes and
components each season as well as having their bikes serviced by professional mechanics. Particular care should be placed in the regular examination of your bicycle and it's components to insure your safety. [AP1100-6-1]
• Aerobars can require riding positions that are new or different to many riders. It is advisable to practice using these bars in a low traffic area to become accustomed to any changes in the steering or handling characteristics of the bike.
Please exercise caution when using these types of handlebars for the first time. Also make sure that you continue to look forward when riding and do not look down towards the ground. [AB1100-2-1]
