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.
