Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to assemble your Coleman Trailhead II Camping Cot:
- Unfold the cot frame and lay it on a flat, stable surface.
- Identify the crossbars. These bars connect the two sides of the cot.
- With the cot raised slightly, slide the connection point of the crossbar into the designated slot on the cot frame.
- Extend the crossbar outwards to lock the joints into place. This step may require some force due to the tension of the fabric.
- Repeat for all crossbars. Ensure all three scissor-action folding legs are fully extended and locked.
- Tip for assembly: The tension rods are not symmetrical; one side is slightly longer. Make sure to leverage the final clip from the "longer" side of the rod for easier assembly. It is recommended to install the short ends first, and then pull and leverage with the long ends until you can fit the pin. The fabric will loosen slightly after a few uses, making assembly easier.

Maintenance and Care

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Difficulty assembling the crossbars. | High fabric tension, especially during first uses. | Ensure the cot is slightly raised. Leverage the final clip from the "longer" side of the tension rod. Install short ends first, then pull and leverage with the long ends. The fabric will stretch slightly after a few uses, making assembly easier. |
| Cot feels unstable or wobbly. | Not all legs are fully extended and locked, or cot is on an uneven surface. | Ensure all three scissor-action legs are fully extended and locked. Move the cot to a stable, level surface. |
| Cot makes squeaking noises. | Joints may need lubrication or are not fully engaged. | Check all joints to ensure they are properly locked. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to moving parts if necessary. |
