Congratulations on the purchase of your new kiln. As you are probably aware your kiln has been up-
graded with a Lid Lifter. This device makes opening the lid nearly effortless. Because it is new, we have not
yet had the opportunity to add the following instructions to our operating manual. Please read these direc-
tions carefully prior to operating your kiln.
TENSIONING THE HINGE SPRINGS
The Lid Lifter is shipped with the Hinge springs de-tensioned in order to protect the lid during shipping.
Please follow the instructions for tensioning the lid carefully to ensure success and avoid injury.
Lid Lifter Addendum
Step 1- Remove the Lid Brace
Remove the cotter pin and washer from the lid
brace pad and remove the lid brace.
Step 2 - Remove Rod A & C
Remove the cotter pins on one side of Rod A and
Rod C and with the lid closed slide out the rods.
Step 3 - Re-insert Rod A
With lid closed, insert rod A with the springs in
the position pictured below. Replace cotter pin.
Step 4 - Re-insert Rod C
Open lid all the way. (Lid will be heavy since it
is not tensioned yet). Insert rod C as pictured below.
Replace cotter pin. Lid is now tensioned. Close lid
and replace lid brace.
