AdvancedFrame™ Sport Inflatable Kayak Owner’s Manual 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 off during inflation, making inflation 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.

AdvancedFrame™ Sport Inflatable Kayak Owner’s Manual ALWAYS practice safety and take the time to learn about the area where you are paddling. Get official information about the local tides and currents before paddling there. Be careful that you do not over estimate your strength, your endurance or your skill. Be careful never to under estimate weather conditions. Be aware of the dangers before you begin. Be aware of your skill level. Be sure you understand and accept the risk of these dangers.
TM 7. TROUBLESHOOTING 14 PROBLEM Does not hold air while inflating. SOLUTION The spring valve uses a plunger system. The only time the plunger should be in the open position is when you are deflating. Make sure that the plunger is closed to inflate. Push the plunger in and rotate counter-clockwise. The kayak is sagging or under inflated. Be sure that the right pump is being used. You need a bellows foot pump or a double action hand pump.
