snow flap getting stuck while unloading

[summ-it-up]

seems like the flap on my 2013 pc 162 likes to get sucked under the track while unloading. does it coming off my 2 place which is about 30" max off the ground with a 8' ramp. it will completely bottom out the suspension. had it happen once. nbd to walk it off this ramp, but what happens when its on my sled deck on the pick up? i've heard of once instance where this lead to shearing off some of the rivets and flexing the tunnel.
simple fix = cutting the flap or removing it entirely.
anybody else encounter this?

This always happens on my sled deck. I just get off once this happens and lift up the back end and pull it down.

just seems kinda silly that you cant ride your sled off the ramp with out getting off and risk bending the tunnel. but i can deal with it, hot knife to the flap just above the wording should help.

On a truck deck, I always just put the sled in reverse to make things easier, then push the sled off.

Riding/backing off will catch the flap/

I have an 11 m8 and got tired of the flap hangin up so go ahead and cut it. I trimmed mine right below the lettering like you suggested and I have never had any overheating issue or anything just run your scratchers on the trail and go play you done need that much plastic anyway lol. P.s I find when I get stuck it is easier to get your hand on the bumper for some reason the flap doesn't push up against the bar as tight.

I cut the snow flap on my HCR 800 as soon as I got it. I haven't had a problem with it heating up yet, just have too use my scratchers on hard packed trails. I cut the bottom section off under the letters.

i dont run a flap at all and im running a turbo and i havnt had a single problem yet.

I always cut the flap just under the writing and im GTG

trim that bottom section of the flap off just above the writing there is a notch kind of, its meant to be cut off there. This will alleviate this headache.

Running no flap on a turbo also. And it's a limited with the smaller cooler. No problems with over heating.


Can't wait to rip on the new cutler turbo!

 

[TylerG]

those of you running no flaps... hope you take back of the pack... those cats love to throw BIG chunks of chit at everyone behind them.....

 

[medler]

New cats don't have a rear cooler so I wouldn't remove totally but sometimes I just lift the flap up and also give them a bit of a trim

Mikey, that's only the 13's the 12's still have a rear......

But yes.... I'll take a photo of how we trimmed Sara's up when I get home tonight and post it, I have 0 issues unloading the Proclimb..... the Rev...... another story....

His is a 13 that's why I said I wouldn't remove the flap completely .

to be clear fellas, only the limited and hcr's have no rear cooler, the non-limited sno pro still has a cooler, cause its definitely there on mine!

 

[teeroy]

I just go really fast backwards down the ramp. it only gets sucked under for a few feet then pops out...lol

I'm surpirsed you don't just tear it off like you would a phone book in half.

 

[papajake]

carry 2 pieces of 4x4 put under bottom of ramp before you unload

 

[medler]

yes thats right
