Learn how to set up the Oztent King Goanna Chair Series III, adjust its lumbar support, and get the most comfort from this portable camping chair.

Quick Answer

Set up the Oztent King Goanna Chair Series III by unfolding the frame, locking the legs, and adjusting the lumbar support to your lower back for immediate, all-day comfort.

Why Setup Matters for Comfort

Getting the King Goanna Chair Series III comfortable starts before you sit down. The chair’s adjustable lumbar support and tall back only work well when you position them correctly for your body. A few seconds of adjustment can make the difference between a good seat and a great one.

The chair is designed for every body shape and size, with a 440 lbs weight rating. That means the setup isn’t one-size-fits-all—you’ll want to fine-tune the lumbar support and armrest position to match your frame.

Trade-Off: Lumbar Support vs. Packability

The Series III’s lumbar support is adjustable, but that mechanism adds a little bulk compared to simpler chairs. If you’re packing for a minimalist trip, you’ll trade a bit of extra weight for the back support. For most campers, the comfort payoff is worth it.

Step-by-Step Setup and Adjustment

Unfold the frame: Remove the chair from its carry bag and unfold the frame fully. Ensure the seat fabric is not twisted or caught in the hinges. Check that the fabric is flat before locking any joints.
Lock the legs: Press down on the seat until the legs click into their locked position. This chair uses a positive lock system, so listen for a clear click on each side. If you don’t hear a click, the leg may not be fully locked—try again.
Adjust the lumbar support: Position the adjustable lumbar support so it sits in the curve of your lower back. Slide it up or down as needed. The support should feel firm but not pushy—adjust until your back feels neutral.
Test the armrests: Sit in the chair and rest your arms on the padded armrests. They should support your forearms without raising your shoulders. If your shoulders feel tense, the armrests are too high—reposition or consider a different seat height.
Attach accessories (optional): If you have compatible accessories, use the Positive Lock System™ to attach them. This system allows effortless customization. Make sure accessories are locked securely before leaning back.
