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. For horizontal applications the pump should be
installed flat on a base to a maximum of a 15
degree angle of inclination to ensure optimum
lubrication.
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
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. Maximum inlet

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 regulator.
6. Before beginning operation of your pumping
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.
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, Check for proper oil
level. DO NOT OVERFILL.
2. Pump operation must not exceed rated
pressure, volume, or RPM.
A pressure relief
device must be installed in the discharge of the
Use Giant Synthetic Oil
Crankcase oil should be changed after the
first 50 hours of operation, then at regular
intervals of 500 hours or less depending on
system.
3. Acids, alkalines, or abrasive fluids cannot be
pumped unless approval in writing is obtained
before operation from Giant Industries, Inc.
operating conditions.
4. Run the pump dry approximately 10 seconds
to drain the water before exposure to freezing
temperatures.

The pump itself can be driven in either direction of rotation; however, the cooling fan
on TEFC motors must always be positioned so that the cooling air is drawn from the
non-drive end of the motor towards the pump.
1. With a 14mm socket wrench,
remove the three discharge
valve plugs (27). Inspect
the valve plug o-rings (23)
for wear, and replace as
necessary.
8. Next, remove the four manifold bolts (40) with a 6mm
allen wrench.
2. Remove the valve spring
(18) and valve cone (36)
from the manifold (35). Inspect the parts for wear and
replace as necessary.
9. Remove the suction flange
(39) and flange o-ring (38).
Inspect the o-ring for wear
and replace as necessary.
3. With a crescent wrench, remove the injector retainer
(47). Inspect the o-ring (46)
for wear and replace as necessary.
10. Tap the back of the manifold
(35) with a rubber mallet to
dislodge, and slide off the
plungers. (8). Take note of
the position of the discharge
port so as to place the manifold in the same position during reassembly.

11. Remove the guided p-valve, (19), valve springs (18), v-sleeves
(21) and pressure rings (20). Inspect for wear and replace
as necessary. Remove the spacer ring (17) from the
plungers (8).
13. Reassemble in reverse order.
Fill the crankcase with the
proper amount of oil (see
specifications page 3)
The pump is now ready for
operation.

12. If the crankcase oil seals (15)
are to be replaced, they can
be removed by prying loose
with a screwdriver. T ake care
not to make contact with the
plunger (8) and pry out the
oil seals from their housing.
Seals should not be reinstalled until after step #16.
