1. Loop one attachment strap around equipment, rubber side facing in.	2. Slide attachment fitting under strap and pull end of strap tightly back on to itself. Press hook and loop firmly together.	3. Attach other strap around bottom of attachment fitting. For optimum non-slip attachment: A) Position the straps' D-rings fully over the equipment frame's surface, and B) Pull the strap ends parallel to the direction of the equipment's frame. If necessary, fine tune the tightness of both straps to ensure the attachment does not move.

4. Hold cup vertical and slide it over the attachment fitting until cup is secure.	5. Place hook ring over cup (hook can be positioned for optimal towel access).	6. Push together until hook ring snaps securely in place around the full circumference of the hook ring. To guarantee proper attachment , run your finger around the circumference of the ring-cup attachment. You should feel no gaps or spaces.

Hook and Cup Removal

1. When removing the hook ring, place your thumb over the top of the ring and grasp the lower part of the hook with the rest of your hand.
