johnf Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 I had a problem with my summit viber sticking together and e-mailed summit about the problem. They very quickly responded to my mail and informed me that they were sending me a new one. I ot it today and pulled it out of the box to put it together. THE DARNED THING CAME IN THE BOX STUCK TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Has anyone else had this problem. I've been working on the stupid thing for an hour and am about to send it back. Here's what it looks like. I've tried pusing up, down, side to side, being gentle and pulling hard nothing seems to work. Here's what it looks like.

johnf Posted December 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Re: Yeah Summit!!!!!!!! BOOOOO Summit? I think if while packing it in and out if I'll put the back rest of the seat between those two parts it woun't be able to stick together. On the first post I didn't realize what time it was. I started working on it about 8:45. It was like some sort of chineese torture test. I knew it had to come apart, it just wouldn't. I've got it all together now with all the padding and everthing. I do have the backrest between the two parts and they can't lock together like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckbuster11 Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Re: Yeah Summit!!!!!!!! BOOOOO Summit? My brother ordered one about 2 months ago and the same thing happened. He sent the whole thing back and they sent him a new one. Even the second one was pretty hard to get apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adjam5 Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Re: Yeah Summit!!!!!!!! BOOOOO Summit? My son Joe picked up a Viper also a few months ago at Gander Mtn. His was also stuck together. We didn't think anything of it unpacking it, a few wiggles and it came apart. Most likely it was thrown around at the store or in shipping. It is made of aluminum, so that metal has some give and is soft. I can see the force of it being tossed in the store and 2 parts(tree teeth) jamming and becomming wedged. I can see how it would be frustrating at 5am trying to get the stand apart. Hope you resolve the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Illinois1958 Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Re: Yeah Summit!!!!!!!! BOOOOO Summit? John, you have to be smarter than the stand! Just kidding. I had the same problem once in the woods. I struggled for 5 minutes and then thought to myself " If i have to walk back to camp with this thing my buddies are going to laugh their butts off at me". Finally, i bumped it against a tree and it came apart. Thank god. Just remember, when all else fails, use force. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbowhntr Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Re: Yeah Summit!!!!!!!! BOOOOO Summit? I have the Broadhead climber. I have had it for about 3 seasons now. From time to time it still gets stuck but only if I jam them together too hard. It has not taken me more than a few secongs to get them apart, mostly for trying to be quiet. But it does happen. But I put up with it because of how comfortable it is when I am in the tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unioncountyslayer Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Re: Yeah Summit!!!!!!!! BOOOOO Summit? Yep, had the same issue John. Just had to muscle it apart. Once you get it apart that first time it doesn't do it anymore, but it is a bit frustrating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hutchies Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Re: Yeah Summit!!!!!!!! BOOOOO Summit? All you have to do is find out which teeth are catching and file them down a small amount. They won't stick anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunterfisherman Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Re: Yeah Summit!!!!!!!! BOOOOO Summit? I have a cobra as well and it's my all time favorite stand. Stuck together maybe once or twice in the begining but not since. I've dealt with Summit a few times and they are allways great. Best customer service in the business if you ask me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
