So what's the skinny on ASV (dealer meeting)

The fan grill does break but it is tougher than you think. When I initially looked at the roof mounted air conditioner I had visions of the whole thing being ripped off by the first low branch, but it doesn't seem to be a problem. The heat around here only hits high 80's and I have the cooling knob backed down a little and the fan on low speed.

Does anyone know what that knurl nut in the front of the suspension seat does? I twisted it and couldn't figure out what I was adjusting.

It's not mentioned in the operators manual?

 

[jmfox]

No clues in the owner's or parts manual and turning it doesn't seem to change anything. I'm sure I'm missing something.

JMF,
Does the knurl nut have a small image stamped on the front of it like a person sitting in a seat?.Maybe a +/- sign too..My CAT has the same thing ..It is a suspension seat and the tighter you crank it in the stiffer the seat suspension gets...If your a lightweight like me I would leave it nearly at the least amount of tension...But you have the new suspension so it may not even effect your ride...
Probly more of a gimick anyway I cranked on mine as you did and didnt know what the heck it was doing until I actually was getting into the cab and DROPPING into the seat.....I felt the seat drop alot with the tension set light...I felt very little drop if I cranked it tighter..Youd have to hit something pretty big or run off a major grade/ditch to get your seat to jump like that!!

JMF, I felt the seat drop alot with the tension set light...I felt very little drop if I cranked it tighter..

I think you're right. While loosening it, I felt the seat go down but I think it was in fact lessening the suspension tension.

Mine has a small person icon and (going clockwise) a big person icon.

Talked with my ASV salesman yesterday, mostly about the upcoming deer hunting season, but he did say that ASV was definitely going to be releasing something (didn't know what). He also said that ASV was promising a real exciting dealer meeting with lots of announcements since it is going to be their 25th anniversary of building rubber track machines. He said he'd give me all the information when he returns from the meeting.
