CHECK
If the Torque cylinder strokes out be-
fore the desired torque is reached, the
Torque gauge needle (TN) will fall off to
approximately a 8000 Ft.-Lb. reading. If this
happens, release Torque (T). Immediately
release Grip (G). Wait for the Torque cyl-
inder to reset.
LOW TORQUE WARNING
SYSTEM CHECK
Test#1: Hawk strongly recommends
testing the Low Torque Warning Sys-
tem 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 on
the main hanger. Torque the first connec-
tion. 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.
Test#2: Hawk strongly recommends test-
ing the Low Torque Warning System
on every trip. If this test procedure is not
performed, the drill string could be under
torqued. When breaking the first connec-
tion, push in the Grip Hold (GH) button,
hold down both Torque (T) and Grip (G)
until the Torque Cylinder fully strokes
out. When the Torque Cylinder fully strokes
out, the Torque Gauge Needle will fall off to
approximately an 8000 Ft.-Lb reading. If
this does not occur, see Trouble Shooting.
