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 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 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
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. Use Giantrecommended 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.
* Important - Check torque bi-weekly on item 49A
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.

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.

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.
T o Check Valves
1 ) Loosen and remove screws (54 with a 10mm allen wrench.
2)Remove discharge casing (48) and valve tension springs (53).
3 ) Remove the discharge valves (51) by screwing supplied valve-puller into the top of the spacer pipe (51E) and firmly
sliding upward with the puller handle. NOTE: The pressure valve adapter (52) will typically come out attached to the
discharge valve. To remove, firmly grasp both pieces and rock them back and forth to break the O-ring seal on the O.D.
of the valve seat.
4)Remove the inlet valves using the same procedure as above.
5 ) Unscrew the valve seat (51A) from the spacer pipe (51E). Remove the valve spring (51D) and valve spring guide (51F)
and inspect for wear. Replace parts as necessary
6 ) Check surfaces of valve plate (51C), valve seat (51A), O-rings (51B) and replace worn parts.
7 ) To reinstall the inlet valves (51), screw the valve puller back into the top of the valve assembly (51). Lower the valve
into the chamber and press firmly into the bottom of the chamber to ensure the valve is seated properly. Install the
tension spring (53).
8)To reinstall the discharge valves, press the discharge valve (51) into the pressure valve adapter (52). Push the entire
assembly into the chamber. Reinstall the tension spring (53).
9)Reinstall the discharge casing (48) and tighten bolts (54) to 155 ft-lbs. in a criss-cross pattern starting with the
centermost 4 bolts and working outward.
T o Change Seals
1 0 ) Loosen nuts (49A) with a 24mm socket wrench.
1 1) With a rubber mallet tap the back of the valve casing (50) and pull the valve casing off the stud bolt (49).
12) Remove cover plate (30) with a 10mm socket wrench.
1 3) By gripping hex flats, separate plunger assembly (36) from crosshead (25) by means of two open-end wrenches (size
22mm and 27mm).
CAUTION: Do not loosen the 3 plunger bases (36A) before the valve casing has been removed otherwise the
plunger assembly (36) could hit against the spacer pipe (52) when the pump is being turned.
1 4 ) Remove the intermediate casing (37) from the crankcase (1).
1 5) Use two screwdrivers to pry the seal case (47) out of the intermediate casing (37). Remove pressure ring (43), V sleeves
(44), sleeve support ring (45), seal tension spring (46), and O rings (47A). Inspect parts for wear and replace as neces-
sary.
1 6 ) Remove the seal sleeve (38), O ring (39), pressure ring (40), V sleeve (44), O ring (42) and drip return ring (41) from the
crankcase (1). Inspect parts for wear and replace as necessary.
1 7) Inspect the plunger pipe for cavitation, cracks, or any other signs of wear. If replacing plunger pipe, tighten plunger bolt
(36C) to 26 ft-lbs.
1 8) Reassemble all parts in reverse order taking care to lubricate all seals and O rings with silicone grease prior to installa-
tion. Reinstall plunger pipe assemblies (36) into intermediate casing (37). When installing the intermediate casing (37)
and valve casing (50) be sure that the parts rest on the studs (50A) and that they have not fallen out.
1 9 ) Reinstall valve casing (50) and tighten nuts (49A) to 103 ft-lbs.
T o Change Oil Seals
20 ) Remove C-clip (33B) from crankcase (1) and remove seal retainer (33).
2 1 ) Remove O ring (33A) and radial shaft seal (32) and replace as necessary.
2 2 ) Reinstall seal retainer (33) and secure with C-clip (33B) in crankcase.
NOTE: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.
T o Disassemble Gear End
2 3) Remove entire manifold and intermediate casing assembly using procedures described above. Take out plunger
assembly (36). Drain oil.

GP7170-4000 REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
2 4 ) After removing the C-clip (33B), pry out seal adapter (33) with a screwdriver.
2 5) Check seals (32) and surfaces of plunger base (25).
2 6) Remove crankcase cover (4). Loosen inner hexagon screws (24A) on the connecting rods (24) and push con rod halves
as far into the crosshead guide as possible.
CAUTION: Connecting rods (24) are marked for identification. Do not twist connecting rod halves. Connecting
rod is to be reinstalled in the same position on crankshaft journals.
2 7) Check surfaces of the connecting rod (24) and crankshaft (22).
2 8) Take out bearing cover (14) to one side and push out crankshaft (22) taking particular care that the connecting rod (24)
doesn’t bend.
29 ) Reassemble in reverse order: Regulate axial bearing clearance - minimum 0.1mm, maximum 0.15mm-by means of fitting
disc (20A). The crankshaft (22) should turn easily with little clearance. Tighten inner hexagon screws (24A) to 30 ft.-lbs.
CAUTION: Connecting rod (24) has to be able to be slightly moved sidewise at the stroke journals.
3 0 ) Reassemble cover (4) and seal (5) onto crankcase (1). Fasten with hexagon screws (10).
3 1 ) Reinstall shim (33C), and seal adapter (33) with radial shaft seal (32), and o-ring (33A) onto crankcase (1).
CAUTION: Radial shaft seal (32) must always be installed so that the seal-lip on the inside diameter faces the oil.
3 2 ) Reinstall remainder of fluid end as described above.
