Summit open shot problem
« on: November 21, 2011, 12:18:00 PM »
Anyone have trouble lifting the seat  to stand? My cushion is so thick it gets caught in the bottom of the seat  when I raise the seat and I have to pull the cushion up before standing. Cost me a deer this am

I sold mine two years ago because of that stupid seat. I also didn't like having to step over it when climbing up or down. Bought a Summit Bushmaster and never looked back!

Yep! same problem here........however, I have been able to figure a way to lift it up with only a slight adjustment. Main thing I found : is to make sure you are grabbing the seat and not the outer frame when you start to lift -----that way your fingers will keep the cushion from sliding back. If you quickly grab the outer edge, then you're going to tip the whole frame a little and that gets teh pad sliding.
It was aggravating at first, but, I spent some time 1 morning just practicing (probably looked like a moron to the squirrels ( "up..down....up ...down" )  :bigsmyl:

I use a "net" seat on my Summit. Works great, never in the way, and is very comfortable and noise free.

The net seats are the best.  I put one on my climber years ago and never regretted it. I can sit in that thing for hours.

Put some heavy duty, stick on Velcro on the surfaces of where the seat cushion contacts the aluminum. Also some velcro on the aluminum contact points will help quiet it.

This will hold the seat in position and prevent it from sliding around.

I noticed the same thing but it hasn't caused me any problem.I think the seat is very comfortable.Where can I find a net seat,I would like to try that?I do think the platform is too small(short)If it were 28-29" it would be perfect.

I know it is supposed to flip up. That is what I am saying . The cushion slides down and won't allow it to flip up
