Special Note: The Spring Valve Adaptor comes with all current Advanced Elements pumps,
with the exception of the 12v inflator, and will attach to any Advanced Elements pump that
does not have the adaptor already included, with the exception of the 12v inflator. The Spring
Valve Adaptor will also attach to some other manufacturer’s pumps, but you must check the
attachment style at the end of the pump hose to be sure it will fit.

To begin inflating your kayak, you will need a Bellows Foot Pump or a Double Action Hand
Pump. Never use compressors, CO2 or compressed air as they may damage you kayak.
