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 140
tant 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 shutoff 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
o

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

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 pres

advantages. But, ifit is used carelessly

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 oil level is between the two lines on the oil
dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL. Use GiantRecommended Oil (p/n 01154), which is equivalent to SAE 85-90W Industrial Grear Lube. 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.

NOTE: Contact Giant Industries for Service School Information. Phone: (419)-531-4600.
Consult the factory for special requirements that must be met if the pump is to
operate beyond one or more of the limits specified above.
PULLEY INFORMATION
Pulley selection and pump speed are based on a 1725
RPM motor and "B" section belts. When selecting
desired GPM, allow for a ±5% tolerance on pumps
output due to variations in pulleys, belts and motors
among manufacturers.
1.Select GPM required, then select appropriate
motor and pump pulley from the same line.
2.The desired pressure is achieved by selecting the
correct nozzle size that corresponds with the pump
GPM.
Horsepower ratings shown are the power requirements for the pump. Gas engine power outputs must
be approximately twice the pump power requirements shown above.
We recommend that a 1.1 service factor be specified
when selecting an electric motor as the power source.
To compute specific pump horsepower requirements,
use the following formula:
* Note: When ordering a valve kit for a pump produced
prior to 11/03, order kit #09222, which replaces part
08281 with p/n 13163. Kit 09222 does not require p/n

TO CHECK VALVES
Lossen plugs (58), take out tension spring (57) and then remove the complete valve (51) with either a valve tool or an
M16 hexagon screw. Remove valve adapter (56) and tension spring (57) with pull-out tool size 5. There is an O-ring
(51G) under both the suction and the discharge valve each of which can be removed with a bent piece of wire.To
disassemble valve hit the top of the valve plate (C) carefully with a bolt and press the valve seat (A) out of the spacer
pipe (E). Check sealing surfaces and replace worn parts. Check O-rings and support rings.Tighten plugs (58) to 107 ft.
lbs.
TO CHECK SEALS AND PLUNGER PIPE
Loosen nuts (49A) and remove pump head. Separate plunger connection (36A) from crosshead (25) by means of two
open-end wrenches (size 22 and 27). Pull seal sleeves (39) out of their fittings in the crankcase.
Take seal case (38) out of seal sleeve (39). Examine plunger parts (36A-36D), seals (42,39A) and O-rings.
When replacing plunger pipe (36B), tighten tension screws (36C) to 30 ft. lbs.
Replace worn parts; grease seals with Silicone before installing.
CAUTION:Don't loosen the 3 plunger connections (36A) before the valve casing has been removed otherwise the
tension screw (36C) could hit against the spacer pipe (51E) 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
Check O-rings on seal case (38). Clean surfaces of seal sleeves in gear box and sealing surfaces of
valve casing. Push valve casing carefully on O-rings of seal case and centering studs (50A). Tighten nuts (49A) to 103
ft. lbs.
TO DISASSEMBLE GEAR
Take out plunger and seal sleeves as described above. Drain oil. After removing the circleclip ring (33B), lever 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 con rod halves as far into the crosshead guide as
possible.
Note:Connecting rods are marked for identification. Do not twist con rod halves. Con rod is to be reinstalled
Note:Seal (32A) must always be installed so taht the seat up on the inside diameter faces the oil.
in the same position on shaft journals.Check surfaces of connecing rod and crankshaft (22) take out
