It's a normal Schrader; second picture shows it open, ready for filling. The cap is shaped that way so you can replace the valve core.

Assuming you have the same pump as I do:
1. Pull out the green hose.
2. Thread the SMALL fitting into the opposite end of the pump.
3. Thread the LARGE fitting onto the valve stem.
4. Pump!

Also, you should really try to align the stem so it comes straight out of the rim, not at an angle. Do that before you inflate the tire.
