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
140
F, it is important to insure a positive head
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 Recommended Oil (p/n 01154),
which is equivalent to SAE 85-90W Industrial
Grear Lube 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.
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.
A pressure relief device must be

Important! The stainless steel valve plugs (56) can seize when being taken out of the valve casing. T o
release tension beforehand, strike the plugs 1-2 times with a steel hammer on the top before removing them.
Coat threads with anti-seize (e.g., ProPack 550) before refitting.

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 (52) 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) and sleeves
(and grooved ring (45A) in GP6140-4000 only). Check the o-rings (41A and 41C). 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) could hit against the spacer pipe (51D) when the pump
is being turned.
For the pumps, the seal unit (43, 44, 44A) is loaded 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.
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
T ake 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 and 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.
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 (24)
to 355 in.-lbs.
IMPORTANT: Connecting rod has to be able to be slightly moved sidewise at the stroke journals.
