WTX Retractor Kit Installation Instructions WTX Retractor Kit Installation Instructions
2. Insert one end of the retractor into the grommet hole located on the bottom of the outer
bag (Fig. 4). Weave the retractor through the outer loops and out the grommet hole on the
opposite side (Fig. 5).

NOTE: Make sure the outer retractor is routed over the bladder when inserting and exiting the
grommet holes, this will streamline the bladder at the bottom.
3. Place the bladder back into the outer bag and align the oval cut out in bladder around the
plastic plate in the center (Fig. 6). Ensure the bladder connector is inserted through connector
hole in outer bag (Fig. 7).

4. There are two sets of inner loops, upper and lower. Insert one end of the retractor into the
lower loop, closest to the grommet hole on the bottom of the outer bag (Fig. 8). Weave the
retractor in a zig zag pattern through the loops around the diameter of the outer bag (Fig. 9).
After exiting the last loop on the opposite side, pull the retractor tight until you see the outer
bag starting to compress. Tie an overhand knot to hold the inner retractor in place. Repeat
process for other side (Fig. 10).

5. Place one hand over the grommet hole and grasp the retractor with the other hand (Fig.
11). Pull the retractor tight until you see the outer bag starting to compress. Tie a double
overhand knot in the retractor directly below the grommet hole (Fig. 12). Repeat process for
other side. Do not trim the excess of the retractors at this time as adjustment in the tension
might still be needed.

1. Lay the WTX-D buoyancy cell on a at surface to install the retractor kit. Remove the inator
from the buoyancy cell by unscrewing the collar at the base of the elbow assembly (Fig. 2).
Unzip the outer bag, push the bladder connector through and remove the bladder. Leave the
bladder attached to the at valve on the lower left side (Fig. 3). This will allow easier access to
the outer sewn in loops while installing the retractor kit.
