element. See Maintenance & Repair, p. 35.
l
The air pressure is low. Increase the air pressure
to the HawkJaw.
l
The hydraulic pressure is low. Increase the
hydraulic pressure.
Do not increase the pressure over 2600 psi, or the
hydraulic fluid will pass over the relief valve and
heat up the hydraulic fluid. This will cause damage
to the HawkJaw and to the pump, and will severely
shorten component life.
