Installation of the Giant Industries, Inc.,
pump is not a complicated procedure, but
there are some basic steps common to all
pumps. The following information is to be
considered as a general outline for installation. If you have unique requirements,
please contact Giant Industries, Inc. or your
local distributor for assistance.
1. The pump should be installed flat on a base to
a maximum of a 15 degree angle of inclination to
ensure optimum lubrication.
2. The inlet to the pump should be sized for the
flow rate of the pump with no unnecessary
restrictions that can cause cavitation. Teflon
tape should be used to seal all joints. If pumps
are to be operated at temperatures in excess of
0
F, it is important to insure a positive head
140
to the pump to prevent cavitation.
3. The discharge plumbing from the pump
should be properly sized to the flow rate to
prevent line pressure loss to the work area. It is
essential to provide a safety bypass valve
between the pump and the work area to protect
the pump from pressure spikes in the event of a
blockage or the use of a shut-off gun.
4. Use of a dampener is necessary to minimize
pulsation at drive elements, plumbing, connections, and other system areas. The use of a
dampener with Giant Industries, Inc. pumps is
optional, although recommended by Giant
Industries, Inc. to further reduce system pulsation. Dampeners can also reduce the severity of
pressure spikes that occur in systems using a
shut-off gun. A dampener must be positioned
downstream from the unloader.
5. Crankshaft rotation on Giant Industries, Inc.
pumps should be made in the direction designated by the arrows on the pump crankcase.
Reverse rotation may be safely achieved by
following a few guidelines available upon request
from Giant Industries, Inc. Required horsepower
for system operation can be obtained from the
charts on pages 3 and 6.
6. Before beginning operation of your pumping
system, remember: Check that the crankcase
and seal areas have been properly lubricated per
recommended schedules. Do not run the pump
dry for extended periods of time. Cavitation will
result in severe damage. Always remember to
check that all plumbing valves are open and that
pumped media can flow freely to the inlet of the
pump.
Finally, remember that high pressure operation in a pump system has many advantages. But, if it is used
carelessly and without regard to its potential hazard, it can cause serious injury.
IMPORTANT OPERATING CONDITIONS
Failure to comply with any of these conditions invalidates the warranty.
1. Prior to initial operation, add oil to the crankcase so that oil level is between the two lines on
the oil dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL.
2. Pump operation must not exceed rated
pressure, volume, or RPM.
A pressure relief
device must be installed in the discharge of the
system.
SAE 80 Industrial Gear oil may be used.
3. Acids, alkalines, or abrasive fluids cannot be
Crankcase oil should be changed after the
first 50 hours of operation, then at regular
pumped unless approval in writing is obtained
before operation from Giant Industries, Inc.
intervals of 500 hours or less depending on
operating conditions.
4. Run the pump dry approximately 10 seconds
to drain the water before exposure to freezing
temperatures.

Specifications
Volume ........................................................................................................ Up to 12.8 GPM
Model GP6124
Discharge Pressure .................................................................................... Up to 5800 PSI
Speed .......................................................................................................... Up to 800 RPM
Inlet Pressure .............................................................................................. Up to 90 PSI
Loosen plugs (56) and take out complete valve (51) with a slide hammer (provided with pump). With a bent
piece of wire, take out o-rings (56A) located between the suction and discharge valves. To dismantle the
valves, carefully tap the valve plate (51B) with a bolt until the valve seat (51A) is pushed out of the spacer
pipe (51D). Check the sealing surfaces and replace all worn parts. Check the o-rings.
When reinstalling the valve, particular care must be taken so that the o-rings sit properly in their fittings in the
valve casing. Tighten the plugs (56) to 160 ft.-lbs..
To Check Seals and Plunger Pipe
Loosen nuts (49A) and remove the pump head. Separate the plunger connection (36) from the crosshead
assembly (25) by means of two open-end wrenches (size 22mm and 27mm). Pull seal sleeves (40) out of their
fittings in the crankcase (1). Take seal case (41) out of seal sleeve (40). Examine plunger (37), guide ring/vsleeve (44) and seals (42, 43, 45). Check o-rings (41A and 41C) and support rings (41B and 41D). Replace
worn parts. Grease seals with Silicone before reinstalling. Replace plunger (37) and tighten to 355 in.-lbs.
IMPORTANT: Do not loosen the three plunger screws (36) before the valve casing (50) has been
removed; otherwise, the tension screw (38 for GP6128) or plunger (37 for GP6124) could hit
against the spacer pipe (51D) when the pump is being turned.
For the GP6128, the seal unit (43, 44, 44A) is loaded by spring (42). Seal life can be increased if the loading
allows for a little leakage. This assists lubrication and keeps the seals cool. It is therefore not necessary to
replace the seals before the leakage becomes too heavy and causes output and operating pressure to drop.
When reassembling, tighten plunger (37) to 33 ft.-lbs.
Check o-rings on seal case (41). Clean surfaces of seal sleeves in gear box and sealing surfaces of valve
casing. Push valve casing carefully onto o-rings of seal case and centering studs (49C). Tighten nuts (49A) to
103 ft.-lbs.
To Disassemble Gear End
Take out plunger and seal sleeves as described above. Drain oil. After removing the circlip ring (33B), pry
out seal retainer (33) with a screw driver. Check seals (32, 32A, 33A) and surfaces of crosshead. Remove
crankcase cover (4). Loosen inner hexagon screws on the connecting rods (24) and push connecting rod
halves as far into the crosshead guide as possible.
IMPORTANT: Connecting rods are marked for identification. Do no twist con rod halves. Con rod is to be
reinstalled in the same position on shaft journals. Check surfaces of connecting rod and crankshaft (22).
Take out bearing cover to one side and push out crankshaft taking particular care that the connecting rod does
not get bent.
IMPORTANT:Seal (32A) must always be installed so that the seal lip on the inside diameter faces
the oil.
Reassemble in reverse order: Regulate axial bearing clearance - minimum 0.1mm, maximum 0.15mm - by
means of fitting disc (20A). Shaft should turn easily with little clearance. Tighten inner hexagon screws (10)
to 355 in.-lbs.
IMPORTANT: Connecting rod has to be able to be slightly moved sidewise at the stroke journals.
