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.
Use Giant’s p/n 01154 or the equivalent
SAE 80w-90 Industrial Gear oil .
Crankcase oil should be changed after the
first 50 hours of operation, then at regular
intervals of 500 hours or less depending on
operating conditions.
2. Pump operation must not exceed rated
pressure, volume, or RPM.
device must be installed in the discharge of the
system.
3. Acids, alkalines, or abrasive fluids cannot be
pumped unless approval in writing is obtained
before operation from Giant Industries, Inc.
4. Run the pump dry approximately 10 seconds
to drain the water before exposure to freezing
temperatures.

To Check V alves
1. Loosen plugs (56) and take out complete valve assemblies (51) with a slide hammer. Use a bentpiece of wire
to remove the o-rings (52).
2. 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).
3. Check the sealing surfaces and replace all worn parts. Check the o-rings.
4. When reinstalling the valve assemblies, particular care must be taken so that the o-rings (52) sit properly in their
fittings in the valve casing.
5. Tighten the plugs (56) to 160 ft.-lbs. (220 NM).
To Check Seals and Plunger Pipe
6. Loosen nuts (49A) and remove the valve casing (50).
7. Separate the plunger connection (36) from the crosshead assembly (25) by means of two open-end wrenches (size
22mm and 27mm).
8. Pull seal sleeves (40) out of their fittings in the crankcase (1).
9. Take the seal case (41) out of the seal sleeve (40).
10. Examine plunger parts (36-39) and seals (44 and 45).
11. Check o-rings (41A through 41D) and replace worn parts.
12. When replacing plunger pipe (37), tighten tension screw (38) to 30 ft.-lbs (40 NM).
13. Grease seals with Silicone before reinstalling.
IMPORTANT: Do not loosen the three plunger screws (36) before the valve casing (50) has been removed;
otherwise, the tension screw (38) could hit against the spacer pipe (51D) when the pump is being turned.
14. The seal unit (43, 44, 44A) is pre-tensioned by a 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.
15. When reassembling, tighten plunger screw (36) to 33 ft.-lbs. (45 NM).
Mounting V alve Casing
16. Check o-rings on seal case (41).
17. Clean surfaces of seal sleeves in crankcase (1) and sealing surfaces of valve casing (50).
18. Push valve casing (50) carefully onto o-rings (41A and 41B) of seal case and centering studs (49C).
19. Tighten nuts (49A) to 103 ft.-lbs. (140 NM).
To Dismantle Gear
20. As described above, take out the plunger and seal sleeves. Drain the oil.
21. After removing the circlip ring (33B), use a screw driver to lever out the seal retainer (33).
22. Check the seals (32, 32A and 33A) and surfaces of the crosshead (25).
23. Remove the crankcase cover (4) and make sure that the o-ring (5) looks good.
24. Loosen the inner hexagon screws on the connecting rods (24).
IMPORTANT: Connecting rods are marked for identification. Do not twist connecting rod halves. Connecting
rod halves are to be reinstalled in the same position and orientation onto the crankshaft (22).
25. Push the connecting rod halves as far into the crosshead guide as possible.
26. Take out the bearing cover (14) to one side and push out the crankshaft (22) taking particular care that the connecting
rod halves don’t bend
IMPORTANT: Seal (32A) must always be installed so that the seal lip on the inside diameter faces the oil. Pos-
sible axial float of the seal adaptor (33) is to be compensated for with shims (33C).
27. Reassemble in reverse order
28. Regulate axial play of the crankshaft clearance to minimum of 0.1mm, maximum of 0.15mm by means of fitting disc
(20A). The crankshaft should turn easily and with little clearance.
29. Tighten the inner hexagon screws to 30 ft-lbs. (40 NM).
IMPORTANT: The connecting rods have to be able to slightly moved sidewise at the stroke journals.
