*If the Torque cylinder strokes out before
the desired torque is reached, the Torque
gauge needle (TN) will fall off to approxi-
mately a 8000 Ft.-Lb. reading. If this
happens, release Torque (T). Immediately
release Grip (G). Wait for the Torque
cylinder to reset. Repeat Steps 5-8.
Operation
Test#1: Hawk strongly recommends testing
the Low Torque Warning System on every
trip. If this test procedure is not performed,
the drill string could be over torqued.
Disconnect the Low torque warning test
connector (LTC) located as shown. Torque
the first connection. Note the torque gage
needle position; keep the Hawkjaw positioned
on the same connection. Now re-connect the
Low Torque Warning Connector. Re-torque
the connection. The torque gage should
indicate the same reading. If it does not, see
Trouble Shooting page 96.
LOW TORQUE WARNING SYSTEM CHECK
Do not make up pipe with the low
torque warning test connector dis-
connected. This may result in under
torqued pipe in the hole.
WARNING
NOTE
For safety, push in the "E" stop
when the HawkJaw is at rest.
