How do you adjust the Fodera dual action truss rod?

[Jazzkuma]

So Iv had my Fodera for awhile now but I have had it setup by professionals so I havent had a chance to look at how its done. Now I want to start setting up my own bass and Im a bit confused. I looked at the instruction manuals from Fodera but from what I understand it only shows you how to take the truss rod out but im just trying to adjust it (trying to add some relief).

Anyone got any pictures on how to do this?

The two tools they gave me from fodera are for removing the hub cap from the truss rod and the other one to pull out the truss rod. Not sure if I need another tool or are one of these also used to adjust the truss rod?

Good point to bring up.
I have dual truss rods on my Tobias 5. Never found a procedure so
I went with trying to keep even tension on both. If I make a half turn adjust
on one I do it to the other. Keep in mind that a full turn adjustment is a lot,
not extreme but usually gets the neck where you want it.
P.S. If you find a procedure please share it with TB

Dual action truss rod is not the same as dual truss rods.
Usually truss rods work only one way. you can tighten it and you can loosen it. Dual action truss rod works actively in both directions.

Dual truss rods are two (probably single action) truss rods in the same neck.

Here are some instructions on adjusting the truss rod on a fodera http://www.fodera.com/FoderaAdmin/Up...justments1.pdf

Yes I have the download pdf file but i still cant really get it. So in order to do any adjustment to the truss rod I absolutely have to take out the truss rod out?

unless the rod is flipped like its shown in the pdf, it adjusts like any other truss rod.

Not at all. The red handled truss rod wrench is used to adjust the truss rod just like any other other truss rod. The question is whether or not the truss rod is in the "normal" or "upside down" position in terms of which way to adjust the relief in the neck.
