Classic Air Lift Hinge Adjustments
Caution: Air Lift Hinge under high tension.
PELLET JOE HINGE
1 Open the dome of your Pellet Joe grill.
2 With the dome open, place wrench on the flats on the screw (see Inset 1). If
your unit does not have the flats, place a socket wrench on the bottom end of the
screw instead wrench (see Inset 2).
3 Place wrench on the nut on top of the spring retainer (see Inset 1).
4 To make the dome easier to raise, hold one wrench stationary and rotate the
other 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 Pellet Joe is already pre-adjusted for ideal balance
and stability. Follow these instructions for any additional adjustment to suit
your personal preferences.
HINGE SAFETY INFORMATION
Do not attempt to disassemble the hinge from your grill
without the proper hardware. If attempting to use the hinge as a lifting point,
grasp the hinge near the mounting point and/or bands, not the bottom. Only mi-
nor adjustments to the weight of the dome should be made per the instructions
on the previous page.
