RE: Anything you don't like about your Summit??????
Chief,
I actually spoke to tech services at Summit about this problem, and they recommended the following:
1) take the green strap and run it vertically, instead of horizontally, around the two platforms
2) cram those cables into the tubes as far as they will go
Since then, I haven't had any noise during transport. However, I bought mine new at the end of September, and the coating on my cables is also starting to get beat up pretty bad. Probably climbed 25 times or so...
6ptsika: Thanks for that plastic dip idea, sounds like a plan.
S&R

I was making noise too, but then I reallized that it was the metal hook on my 4-point saftey harness. I would just check that it is not that. It is simple, but might not be the problem.

I have the Summit Cobra and have used my brothers Summit Viper. I haven't experienced noise while packing either stand in/out.
<u>BE SURE TO:</u>
Push the cables AS FAR into the holes as possible.
When placing the seat section on the floor section, place the cleats in the shoe straps and cinch tight.
Strap the two together Vertically with the long green strap
Buy or go to your local snowmobile dealer and ask for a few straps that are used in packaging the machines in the crates. They are the same straps you got with your stand,(PERFECT)(FREE) And work well for other stuff.
With that extra strap rap it around the two pieces horizontally.
That makes it sound! no pun intended.
.....Things I Would Change.....
The backpack straps aren't positioned well and the stand rides low on the back. This makes the stand feel heavier than it is.<img src=icon_smile_blackeye.gif border=0 align=middle>
Speaking of heavy...I wish they made a super light stand for us hunters pushing 165 lbs <img src=icon_smile_blackeye.gif border=0 align=middle>
6ptsika - I love the rubber spray idea and that would cure the noise of inserting those cables during setup for sure. Good thinking!
All in all I love these stands and would buy another if I had to.
