I just put my new grill together. The lid does not stop when I open it. It seems to me that it should stop going back at about a 90 degree angle, but it just goes all the way back. Is there a solution?

Certainly does sound like a poor design. Are you sure there aren't some parts missing or overlooked?

A quick fix would be to use two lengths of some light weight Brass chain and 4- appropriately sized bolts, washers and nuts. Attach one length of chain to each side of the hood/lid with a bolt and attach the remaining ends to the interior of the firebox with another bold.. Each chain's length will be determined by where you want the lid to stop, once it's raised. Leaning slightly back past 90 degrees would probably be safer.

Hope this helps to solve your problem.

Saniplus toilet when toilet is flush the masorator tank leaks around the lid, nnot nice seeing \yuck streaks run down

Is not recommended to use 90 degree elbows in the discharge pipe. Is recommended to use 45 degree elbows back to back with a small piece in between or long sweeping elbows. Using hard 90 degree elbows creates resistance in the discharge pipe and does not allow the unit to pump out the waste as efficiently as it should.

Popped the lid open to change vacuum cleaner bag...now lid won't close. It's stuck at 90 degree angle. Is a button to release it?

Hi bndennis,

Please check the spring on your lid, it may be keeping the door open. Miele vacuum cleaners mainly use a spring concept for keeping lids open - merely pushing it down will lock it at the bottom.

Kind Regards :-)

Ti 84 mode a+bi you can not add 5 at 90 degrees to 5 at -90 degrees. You need to switch to exponential mode e^ and enter as 5 e^(pi/2i) this is ok for 180 degrees. however what do you do when...

You can add angle measures by hitting 2nd angle and choosing the degree option. Put this after a value (e.g. 90(degrees symbol)) and add you can add angles that way. Be sure that you are in degree mode when doing this (you can use the radian symbol for adding radians too). Still, this is a very tedious process and I recommend just adding angles as regular values (e.g. 90 + 200 = 290) and correcting for degrees manually.

DS Lite, the top screen goes black when opened the whole way when the game is opened to a 90 degree angle the screen is clear and works fine.

There are a few things that could have happened, the most likely that one of you cable clips is loose, and when you open it fully, it pulls it out just enough so that the connection is lost.

Your going to need to open your DS, (the forms at www.powergamingparts.com are the best forms to find these instructions) then just disable your clip, and reinsert it, and then close the clip, and put you DS back together. Just ask if you need any additional help.

Weber won't get very hot

Safety valve needs reset.
  • Close the LP tank valve
  • Turn all burner control knobs to the OFF position
  • Open the grill lid
  • Turn the LP tank valve until it is completely open
  • Wait several seconds
  • Turn the front burner to the HI/Start position
  • Press the igniter until the burner is lit.
  • Turn remaining burners to High
  • Close the lid.
  • The grill should preheat to 500-550 degrees in 10-15 minutes
I called Weber and the rep walked me through the reset. All grills made after 1996 have this bypass valve.
