32 ADJUSTMENTS
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). If your unit does not have the flats, place
a 7mm socket wrench on the bottom end of the screw instead of
using the 10mm wrench (see Inset 2).
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 (or 7mm)
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).
