3. Package Contents

Verify that all components are present before assembly:

• 1 x Naturehike Ultralight Camping Cot Fabric Sheet
• 2 x Long Support Poles (shock-corded)
• 5 x Support Leg Assemblies
• 1 x Carry Bag

4. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to assemble your Naturehike Ultralight Camping Cot:

1. Unpack all components from the carry bag. Lay the fabric sheet flat on a clean, level surface.
2. Identify the two long support poles. These are typically shock-corded for easy assembly.
3. Locate the two sleeves along the long edges of the cot fabric. Insert one long support pole into each sleeve. Ensure the poles are fully seated within the sleeves.
4. Identify the five support leg assemblies. Each assembly consists of two legs connected by a crossbar.
5. Attach the support leg assemblies:
   • Position the cot on its side.
   • Align the clips on a support leg assembly with the long support poles.
   • Press down firmly on the leg assembly to snap the clips onto both long support poles. This may require some force. It is often easier to attach one side first, then use your body weight or the ground to help flex and attach the second side.
   • Repeat this process for all five support leg assemblies, spacing them evenly along the cot.
6. Once all leg assemblies are securely attached, carefully flip the cot over so it rests on its legs.
