Teton Grill Sports Manual

Setting up your new
TETON Sports Cot
Before you begin, the box should
include one cot, two end rails and a carry
bag.
Please note that your cot is intentionally very
tight and is comprised of durable material. The
material will stretch over time, making the cot easier to set
up with use.

1. Inspect the area and make sure it is clear of any obstructions, rocks, or sharp objects.
2. Remove the cot and two end rails from the box. Begin by rotating each of the two end leg assemblies 180º degrees so that all legs are on the
bottom side of the cot (Figures 1-3).
3. With the cot resting on its leg assemblies, press down on the side rails to open the cot to its sleeping position (Figure 4).
4. Before proceeding further, visually check to see that the leg assemblies are correctly aligned underneath the cot. Also confirm that the cot
fabric is stretched tight throughout. Make any necessary adjustments.
5. Slide the two end rails through the cloth channels located on each end of the cot. Position the end rails with the two cut-out slots facing
down and towards the cot (Figure 5-6).
6. Secure the end rails to the cot in the A-B-C-D diagonal sequence as shown in Figure 7. Due to the tightness of the fabric, securing the end
rails to the cot in this diagonal sequence is easier. Even so, inserting corner D w ill be particularly diffi cult. To insert the end rail to the last
pin in corner D, fi rmly grasp the end leg assembly as you pull on the end rail and insert the pin into the cut-out slot (Figure 8). You may also
want to place a knee against the leg assembly for added leverage. The sleeping surface should now be tight.
7. If step 6 does not work, consider using a mallet or hammer handle as a lever to ease the last notch onto the pin. You may have to undo C in
order to attach D and then go back to C as the fin

8. You may notice bowing in the middle of the cot. This is normal and caused by the extreme tightness of the fabric. Your body weight will
eliminate the bowing as soon as you lie down.
9. To take down your cot, simply reverse the set-up process.
10. Your Universal camp cot was built with extra strength and durability in mind. As with all cots and camping equipment, care should be
used when lying on the cot. First sit down in the center of the cot, then bring your legs up and lie down. This m ethod distributes weight more
evenly on the cot frame and legs. Please do not sit on the frame as it is not designed to carry a lot of direct weight.
* Each cot has already been completely set up as the last step of the manufacturing process prior to packaging.
