Oztent King Goanna Cot Series II: Setup and Care

Quick answer

Set up your Oztent King Goanna Cot Series II by unfolding the X-leg frame, locking each leg into place, and then attaching the padded mattress. Regular care includes wiping down the frame after use and storing the cot in a dry place to prevent rust and mildew.

Setup and care steps

1. Unfold the cot frame: Lay the cot on a flat, clear area. Unfold the X-leg frame fully until you hear each leg click into the locked position. Common mistake: Skipping the lock check can cause the cot to fold unexpectedly. Always verify each leg is locked before putting weight on the cot.
2. Attach the padded mattress: Align the mattress with the frame and secure it using the built-in straps or fasteners. Ensure the mattress lies flat with no wrinkles. Checkpoint: If the mattress shifts during use, re-tighten the straps.
3. Test stability before use: Press down firmly on the center of the cot to confirm it doesn't wobble or creak. If it does, re-check leg locks and adjust the mattress position. Common mistake: Placing the cot on uneven ground can cause instability. Use a ground sheet or leveling pad under the cot on uneven terrain.
4. Clean after each trip: Wipe down the frame with a damp cloth to remove dirt and moisture. Brush or shake out the mattress to remove debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the padding or fabric.
5. Store dry and protected: Allow the cot to air dry completely before folding. Store in a dry, ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Common mistake: Folding the cot while damp can lead to mildew and corrosion. Use a storage bag or cover to keep dust and pests away.
