The Spinmaster is a new generation drill pipe spinner from
that great tradition of its father the Spinnerhawk. The Spinmaster
has been engineered to give much more than its predecessor in
performance and reliability.
SAFETY
The Spinmaster provides a fast, safe and efficient method of
spin-up or spin-out, eliminating costly and dangerous accidents
associated with the use of spinning chains.The Spinmaster’s
unique chain gripping system transmits more torque without
slipping than any competitive spinner, regardless of pipe size.
TIME AND LABOR SAVINGS
Designed to work on the tube rather than the tool joint, the
position of the Spinmaster provides clearance to place the backup tong while spinning, thus saving rig time. The Spinmaster is
the lightest and smallest drill pipe spinner on the market today.
This makes the Spinmaster easier to work with and helps reduce
crew fatigue. Drillers and operators of the Spinmaster work more
efficiently and suffer less fatigue on long round trips; less workand faster trips. Relatively inexperienced personnel can be
utilized for a faster trip with the Spinmaster and can workmore
efficiently than would be possible using a spinning chain.

Warranty
STANDARD WARRANTY AND FIELD SERVICE
It is important to Hawk Industries to provide all Spinmaster users with the best tool possible along
with the highest degree of dependability and satisfaction. Because of this, we offer the following
warranty.
Your Spinmaster must be free of material and workmanship defects for a period of one year from
the date of delivery. If any items fail because of a manufacturing defect within that period of time,
that item will be replaced by the Hawk Company.
Replacement of parts will be accomplished either at the factory or at a designated service point.
This guarantee does not include the replacement of parts where failure occurred due to normal wear
and tear or misuse of the tool.
Hawk Industries will in no event be liable for consequential damages or contingent liabilities
arising out of the failure of any parts to operate properly.
No expressed, implied or statutory guarantee other than herein set forth is made or authorized to
be made by Hawk Industries.
CAUTION
Factory specifications for hydraulics, pneumatics, lubricants, adjustments and safety precautions
as set forth in the operation and maintenance manual are for the mutual protection of the owner of
the Spinmaster and the company. Failure to adhere to these specifications can reduce the efficiency
or life of the equipment and/or cause bodily injury.
1. Connect the Spring Hanger
(SH) to at least a 3/8"diameter
Steel Cable (SC) suspended
from a high point (as near the
crown as possible) in the derrick
no more than 5 ft. from the
center of the Rotary Table.
2. Connect the lower end of the
spring hanger (SH) to the
Spinmaster as shown. Makesure the shackles (S) are tightened securely. Make sure that
the Spinmaster hangs in the
derrick at a level that assures nocontact with any part of the
stabbed tool joint (including the
upset) when gripped on tube.
3. Hook a backup line to the rear
of the Spinmaster securing the
other end to the derrick. Make
sure the backup line is horizon-tal and leaves little slack when
the Spinmaster is gripped on the
pipe so that no kick-back can
occur when changing spinnermotor directions.

Warning
Failure to properly hook up backup line could cause bodily injury.
Caution
Hooking up the back-up line on an
angle not level with the spinner can
cause damage to the spinner case.

Hydraulic Spinmaster
1. The hydraulic Spinmaster
requires a minimum hydraulic
pressure of 2000psi and a maxi-
mum pressure of 2500psi.
2. The hydraulic Spinmaster re-quires a minimum hydraulic
volume of 20 GPM and a maximum of volume of 30GPM.
3. Connect (at least) a 3/4" hy-
draulic pressure hose (3000psiworking) to the hydraulic inlet
side ( HIS ) of the Spinmaster
valve as shown.
to the hydraulic outlet side(HOS)
of the Spinmaster valve as
shown.

Note
Hydraulic filtration (at least 25
micron) is highly recommended
for Spinmaster for performance
and reliablity.
Air Spinmaster
1. Connect the three supply hoses
(supplied with the Spinmaster):
the Hydraulic Return Line
(HRL), the Hydraulic Pressure
Line (HPL), and the Air Supply
Line (ASL) to the Spinmasterand the Air Power Pack (APP)
as shown.

2. Connect a 1 1/4" air supply line
(ASL) from the air source to the
Air Power Pack (APP) as shown.
3. To turn on air, rotate Air Supply
Valve (ASV) counterclockwise
as shown.
WARNING
It is recommended that a air
regulator from the source air to the
power pack be used (1 1/4"Pipe or
larger). Excess chain and drive
roller wear do to slipping may
result if the Spinmaster air power
pack receives more than 100 psi air
pressure.
Hydraulic Adjustments
APP
ASV
ASL
1. Always adjust the Spinmaster
relief valve (RV) above main
system hydraulic pressure or
over heating of oil may result.
To adjust the relief valve, grip
the Hydraulic Spinmaster on
the pipe (see item #1 on page
#17). Use a 4mm Allen wrench
to screw the Spinmaster Relief
Valve (RV) counter-clockwise
until a hydraulic flow sound is
heard, then rotate clockwise
until sound (flow) stops.
2. The hydraulic Spinmaster
comes standard with an opencenter valve configuration. The
standard valve can be re-config-
ured to closed center by removing the Open Center Plug
shown (PS) and replacing it
with a Closed Center Plug
(CCP).

Adjust Pipe Size
1. Remove both Adjust Pins (AB)
2. Slide Drive System (DS) forward
or back to allign with the desired
pipe size adjustment holes. See
prior page(diagram) or this page
(photos) for correct adjustment
location.
3. Replace Adjust Pins (AB). New
Quick Release Pins look different
than shown on photo.

Note
If the drive rollers are touching each
other while gripped on pipe, slipping may occur. This is caused by
chain stretch (pin wear). To remedy
this problem, adjust the Spinmaster
to the next smallest setting. If this
smaller setting causes the
Spinmaster to thrust itself from the
pipe while spinning, replace the
chain. See Changing the Chain
pg.23.
1. To reverse Hydraulic Spinmaster
motor direction, switch motor
supply (HMSH) hoses on motor
ports as shown.
Reverse Air Spinmaster
1. To reverse Air Spinmaster motor
direction, switch motor supply
hose (AFQD) and muffler
(MUF) on motor ports as shown.
The air quick disconnect will
release only when the slott on its
slidding sleeve alligns with the
partially submerged ball. After
engaging quick disconnect, lock
the sleeve by rotating the sleeve
out of allignment with the ball.
For safety, always lock air quick disconnects
when reversing motor direction.
1. Swing Spinmaster toward pipe
until its chain is touching the
pipe tube. While continuing to
load Spinmaster (SM) against
the pipe, push door valve (DV)
handle away from you, fully
toward the Spinmaster (Detented
Position). The doors will close
and the Spinmaster will grip the
pipe.
2. To spinning is complete, pull
out on the Air Motor Valve
Lever (PMV), or push in on the
Hydraulic Motor Valve Lever
(HMV) depending on which unit
you are operating.
3. After the pipe shoulders,
release the motor valve and the
Spinmaster will stop.
4. To remove the Spinmaster fromthe pipe, pull back on the Door
Valve Lever (DV) and pull the
Spinmaster away from the pipe.
