GENERAL INFORMATION The Monster Hawk contains several components intended for the safety of the operator. Safety Shut-Off Control Valve Located at the top of the column on the backside of the cable cylinder. This is a pilot-controlled valve that opens when an air supply of at least 45 psi is supplied to the pilot. When pressure drops below this the valve shuts and air cannot enter or escape from the cable cylinder.
NOTE: Typically, the required setting will be between 45-65 psi. If the arm continues to rise, SLOWLY turn the dial slightly in the counter-clockwise direction until the arm stops and maintains its position. The arm can now be manually moved into its desired vertical position. Monster Hawk...
