Ensure the cot is placed on a flat, level surface. Check that all frame joints are fully extended and locked into place. Verify that the weight limit of 120kg is not exceeded.
Difficult to assemble or fold.
Ensure all components are aligned correctly. Apply steady pressure to lock frame joints. If resistance is met, check for obstructions or misalignments. Refer to the product packaging or online resources for assembly diagrams if needed.
Surface feels stiff or slightly creased.
This is normal for new PVC-coated nylon. The material will become more pliable with use. Ensure the cover is fully tensioned on the frame.
Carry bag zipper is stuck.
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Check for any fabric caught in the teeth. Lubricate the zipper with a pencil lead or a small amount of wax if necessary.
