Problem
Spinner pops off the drill pipe tube when the

clamps onto the drill pipe tube.
Spinner does not slide forward on the spin
mount block or does slide forward and closes
prematurely and bangs on pipe body while
closing.
Spinner chain hinders the correct alignment
of the HawkJaw on the pipe.
Spinner clamps on the pipe and forces the
HawkJaw back away from the pipe.
The spinner doors do not begin to close as the
spinner moves onto the pipe.
Spinner begins to spin before the spinner
doors close on the drill pipe tube.
Remedy
•
The spinner is adjusted too small for the drill pipe
tube. Adjust the spinner to the correct pipe size.
See Operation.

See Operation. If the Drive Rollers still touch, the
chain is severely stretched. Replace the chain. See
