Hanging Cable Location
1. Anchor the hanging cable to a point as
close to the derrick crown as
possible. The longer the hanging cable, the
easier the HawkJaw is to move
on and o the drill pipe.
2. Locate the cable hang point as high
above the center of the ro-
tary table as possible. The c a b l e
must hang within 2’-3’ ft. of the rotary
table center.
NOTE
The hanging cable must permit the HawkJaw
to move from the drill pipe connection to the
mouse hole connection to the HawkJaw rest
position (3’- 5’ ft. away from the rotary table).
1. Place the HawkJaw on the side of the
rotary table away from the setback zone.
This allows the drill pipe stands to swing
straight from pick-up to stabbing.
2. If possible, place the HawkJaw on oppo-
site
side of the setback zone. If the rig has dual
setback zones, Step 1applies.
3. The HawkJaw may rest on the rig oor 3’ -
5’ ft. away from the rotary table.
