provide enough pressure to fully inate the kayak, so you will need a secondary pump to nish
the job.
Using the NEW “Screw-on” Spring Valve Adaptor:
The screw-on Spring Valve Adaptor was designed to enable the pump hose to securely connect to
the Advanced Elements Spring Valve without falling o during ination, making ination easier.
The valve adaptor also has a semi-circle protrusion that depresses the valve stem, opening the
valve slightly to allow pumps with pressure gauges to take a constant reading. When inating
the kayak using the Spring Valve Adaptor, the valve should be in the inate position.
Special Note: The Spring Valve Adaptor comes with all current Advanced Elements pumps,
with the exception of the 12v inator, and will aach to any Advanced Elements pump that
does not have the adaptor already included, with the exception of the 12v inator. The Spring
Valve Adaptor will also aach to some other manufacturer’s pumps, but you must check the
aachment style at the end of the pump hose to be sure it will t.
