Hinge Adjustments - Kamado Joe KAMADO BIG JOE II Owner's Manual

Big Joe Air Lift Hinge Adjustments
The Air Lift Hinge on your Kamado Joe Big Joe is already
pre-adjusted for ideal balance and stability. Follow these
instructions for any additional adjustment to suit your
personal preferences.
Caution: Air Lift Hinge under high tension.
1 Open the dome of your Kamado Joe Big Joe grill.
2 With the dome open, place the 10mm wrench on the flats on
the screw (see Inset 1).
3 Place the 19mm wrench on the nut on top of the spring
retainer (see Inset 1).
4 To make the dome easier to raise, hold the 10mm wrench
stationary and rotate the 19mm wrench clockwise as shown.
Remove the wrenches and check the dome action for every full
rotation of the nut. If you want the dome to feel heavier, rotate
the nut counter-clockwise. Remove the wrenches and check the
dome action for every full rotation of the nut. Do not adjust the
nut so that it contacts the connector (see Inset 1).
