Classic Air Lift Hinge Adjustments
Caution: Air Lift Hinge under high tension.
CLASSIC
1 Open the dome of your Kamado Joe Classic grill.
2 With the dome open, place the 7mm 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 7mm wrench (see Inset 2).
3 Place the 9/16 inch wrench on the nut on top of the spring
retainer (see Inset 1).
4 To make the dome easier to raise, hold the 7mm wrench
stationary and rotate the 9/16 inch 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 nut under the connector (see Inset 1).
The Air Lift Hinge on your Kamado Joe Classic is already
pre-adjusted for ideal balance and stability. Follow these
instructions for any additional adjustment to suit your
personal preferences.
