It is our goal, at Advanced Elements, to develop new and unique paddles-
ports products that enhance our customers’ outdoor experience. Our focus is
on designing and manufacturing “Inatable kayaks with cuing edge tech-
nology”. Our kayaks incorporate many dierent materials and components
and deliver high performance at a very reasonable price. We are the makers
of the AdvancedFrame™ Inatable kayaks, Lagoon™ Inatable kayaks and
StraitEdge™ Canoe and Kayaks. The AdvancedFrame™ Kayaks are a hy-
brid of a folding frame kayak and an inatable kayak. Its bow slices through
water like a knife and rivals the tracking of hard-shell kayaks. The stern acts
as a skeg increasing the tracking performance. The Lagoon™ kayaks are
durable and lightweight. They have built-in rigid forms that increase the
performance once it is fully inated. You can take our inatables with you
anywhere in the world and no roof rack is needed! Keep it in the trunk of
your car and paddle whenever you want or pack it into a remote wilderness
area and paddle where no one has paddled before. Simply inate with a foot
pump and hit the water in minutes. Please visit our website for more infor-
mation on our products or to nd a dealer near you.

3.2 Understanding Your Valves
Advanced Elements Scamper2™ kayak uses the following valves. The Advanced Elements
spring valve has the function and durability of other military type valves and is compatible with
most standard pumps. The lock nut holds the valve in place with the cover for easy ination.
The following gures will have details on how to operate the valves.
To Inate: The valve’s plunger stem should be in the up/outward position ush with the valve
threading.
To Deate: The valve’s plunger stem should be set in the down/inward position recessed in the
valve threading.
In order to switch the valve from inate to deate or vice-versa, simply use your nger to
press the valve stem down/inward and rotate it a 1/4 turn to either lock it down for deate, or
unlock it (stem will spring up) for inate.
How the Spring Valve Works:
When the valve is in the inate (up/outward) position, the air being pumped in pushes the
spring-loaded plunger open, allowing air to enter the air chamber, but not leing it escape.
When the valve is in the deate (down/inward) position, the spring loaded plunger is wide open
allowing the air to come rushing out of the air chamber. If the valve is in the inate position, the
valve’s plunger stem will be ush with the rim of the valve. If the valve is in the deate position,
the valve’s plunger stem will be inside, or lower than, the rim of the valve. To change the valve
from the inate position to the deate position, simply use your nger to press the valve plunger
stem down/inward, and give it a 1/4 turn. This will lock the plunger open and allow the air to
rush out. Use the same procedure in reverse to unlock the valve plunger, allowing it to spring up
into the inate position.
Special Note: If you are using a 12v inator, like those that come with most inatable maresses
or those that plug into car cigaree lighters, you may need to have the valve in the deate (down/
inward) position because these types of pumps typically do not provide enough air pressure
to press the plunger open to allow air into the air chamber. Additionally, 12v inators do not
provide enough pressure to fully inate 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 ination, making ination 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 inating
the kayak using the Spring Valve Adaptor, the valve should be in the inate position.

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

To begin inating 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.

3.3 Inating
IMPORTANT: Inate your kayak in the following order. Failure to follow these instructions
may cause damage to your kayak. Do not over inate. Be sure to read directions on
operating the spring valves and twist valves located in the section “Understanding your valves”.
Before inating please be sure that the foam oor is positioned inside the kayak seating area,
underneath the side ination tubes. When the kayak is inated it will hold the foam oor in
place.
1. Inate chamber 1 “main1” until the kayak looks about half way inated.
2. Inate chamber 2 “main2” until the kayak feels rm to touch. 2 psi max (DO NOT OVER
INFLATE)
3. Inate chambers 3 and 4 “deck li tubes” until rm. 1 psi max (DO NOT OVER
INFLATE)
4. Inate seat cushion to desired rmness and aach to kayak using provided strap.
5. Make sure all valves are closed tightly and properly.
NOTE: Ideally you want to put about half of the air in Chamber 1 and half into chamber 2. This
way if you were to loose pressure in one chamber then you would have the other chamber to
oat the kayak.
