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 1400 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
chart on page 3.
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 crankcase so
that the oil level is between the two lines on the oil
dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL. SAE 80 Indus-trial Gear oil may be used. Crankcase oil should
be changed after the first 50 hours of operation,
then at regular intervals of 200 hours or less depending on operating conditions.
2. Pump operation must not exceed rated
pressure, volume, or RPM. A pressure relief
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.
The rating shown are the power requirements for the
pump. Gas engine power outputs must be
approximately twice the pump power requirements
shown above.
We recommend a 1.1 service factor be specified
when selecting an electric motor as the power
source.
T o compute specific pump horsepower requirements,
use the following formula:
NOTE:Always take time to lubricate all metal and non-metal parts with a light film of oil
before reassembling. This step will help ensure proper fit, at the same time protecting
the pump non-metal parts (elastomers) from cutting and scoring.
1. Lossen screws (58C), take
plugs (58) out of valve casing with two screws.
2. Take out complete valve
assemblies (51 and 52) using either tool (part
#07662) or stud bolt.
51F51E51 C51B51A51C or 52C
or 52C
4. Check surfaces of valve plate, valve seat, O-rings (51B, 58A) and
replace worn parts.
6. Loosen nuts (49A)7. Remove pump head.
3. Valve seats (51C and 52C)
are pressed out of spacer
pipe (51F) by hitting the
valve plate (51D) with a
bolt.

5. When reassembling: The
suction valve seat (51C) is
1mm smaller in diameter
than the discharge valve
seat (52C). Suction valve
seats are marked "S" and
always have to be installed
first. Discharge valve seats
are marked "P" and are always tobe installed on top
of suction valve. Plugs (58)
are to be tensioned down
evenly with screws (58C)
and crosswise at 156 ft-lbs.
(210 NM).

8. Separate plunger (36) from
crosshead (25) by means of
one open-end wrench.

10. If o-rings (38A and 38C) or support rings (38B and 38D) are
38D
damaged, replace with new parts. Examine plunger (36) for wear.
9. Pull seal sleeves (39) out of
their fittings in the crankcase. Take seal case (38)
out of seal sleeve (39).

11. Take a thin screw driver and pry out the grooved ring (39A).
Note: This seal (39A) will not be reusable, so replace with a
new part. For the seal-pack (41-43A), remove with either a
socket wrench or use a screw driver to push against the rear lip
of the pressure ring (41) or v-sleeves (42). You will need to
remove seals evenly out of the seal sleeve (39). Be careful not
to score the sleeve or metal parts (41 & 43).

CAUTION: Don't loosen the 3 plunger (36) before the valve casing has been removed otherwise the plunger
(36) could hit against the spacer pipe (51F) when the pump is being turned.
Seal life can be increased if the pretensioning allows for a little leakage. This assists lubrication
and keeps the seals cool. It is therefore not necessary to replace seals before the leakage
becomes too heavy and causes output and operating pressure to drop.
MOUNTING VALVE CASING
NOTE: Replace worn parts; grease seals with silicone before installing.
12. Check O-rings (38A) and support rings (38B) on seal case (38). Clean surfaces of seal sleeves in
gear box and sealing surfaces of valve casing. Reassemble seal sleeve (39) by placing plunger (36)
in seal sleeve; place pressure ring (41), v-sleeves (42), sleeve support ring (43), and tension spring
(45) over plunger (36). Place the seal case onto the seal sleeve and press into the crankcase, making
sure that the weep hole on the seal sleeve is facing down. Tighten tensioning screw (36C) for
plunger onto crosshead (25) with an open end wrench to 33 ft-lbs. (45NM)
13 . Push valve casing carefully onto O-rings of seal case and centering studs (50A). Tighten nuts (49A)
to103 ft-lbs. (140NM).
TO DISASSEMBLE GEAR
14 . Take out plunger (36) and seal sleeves (39) as described above. Drain oil.
15 . After removing the circlip ring (33B), lever out seal retainer (33) with a screw driver. Check seals
(32,32A,33A) and surfaces of crosshead.
16 . Remove crankcase cover (4). Loosen inner hexagon screws on the connecting rods (24) and push
con rod halves as far into the crosshead guide as possible.
CAUTION:Connecting rods are marked for identification. Do not twist con rod halves. Con Rod is
to bereinstalled in the same position on shaft journals.
17 . Check surfaces of connecting rod and crankshaft (22). Take out bearing cover (14) to one side and
push out crankshaft taking particular care that the connecting rod (24) doesn't bend.
CAUTION: 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, maximum0.15mm-by means of fitting disc (20A). The crankshaft (22) should turn
easily with littleclearance. Tighten fitting screws (24A) to 30 ft.-lbs. (40 NM)
CAUTION: Connecting rod (24) has to be able to be slightly moved sidewise at the stroke journals.
