INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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 1600 F, it is important to insure a positive head
to the pump to prevent cavitation. See NPSH curve.
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.
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 SAE 90 Industrial gear 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.
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 installed in the

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
We recommend that a 1.1 service factor be specified
when s electing an electric motor as the power source.
To compute specific pump horsepower requirements,
use the following formula:
HORSEPOWER INFORMATION
among manufacturers.
1. Select GPM required, then select appropriate
HP = (GPM X PSI) / 1440
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.
Pump speeds of 640 RPM and above require a minimum inlet pressure of 12 psig.
Pump speeds of 805 RPM and above require a minimum inlet pressure of 14 psig.

1. With a 30mm wrench, remove the six (6) plugs (48)
from the valve casing (43).
Inspect the o-rings (48A)
and replace if necessary.
Remove the complete valve
assembly (46A) by threading a 12mm bolt into the
spring retainer and pulling
straight out.
3. Remove the eight (8) hex
nuts (49A) with a 19mm
wrench. Tap the back of
the manifold (43) with a
rubber mallet to dislodge
and slide off the studs.
2. To disassemble the valve, screw the bolt into the retainer until
the valve plate (45) presses the valve seat (44) out of the spring
retainer. Examine all parts and replace if necessary. If the seat
doesnt come out, use a valve puller to remove.
36A 36 35 35A 39 40 40 41
4. Remove the seal sleeve (35) from the manifold and/or crankcase. Remove the pressure rings (39&36A), v-sleeves (40&36),
support ring (41) and o-rings (35A) from the manifold and seal
sleeve, respectively. Examine seals carefully and replace if
worn. Clean all parts.
5. If there are signs of oil
leaking through the
plunger oil seals, then
replacment is
neccessary.For
LP122A &
LP122A-4000, remove
the plunger pipe (29B)
before inspecting oil
seals (31A & 33).
For the LP123 &
LP122A-3100
dissassemble the gear
end and push out the
seals from the back of
the pump.
29E 29 A 29B 29D 29C
6. Inspect surface of plunger pipe (29B) carefully. Remove any
chemical or mineral deposits taking care not to damage the
surface of the plunger. If plunger pipe is worn, remove the
plunger bolt (29C) , plunger pipe (29B) and spacer (29E).
Replace worn parts necessary. Note:
Always use a new
copper gasket (29) when repairing the plunger assembly.

7. For LP122A & LP122A-4000
pumps, oil seal replacement can
be accomplished by pulling the
retainer forward out of the
crankcase. The o-ring around
the outside of the retainer
should be replaced and lubricated with a light film of oil.
8. The back-up seal (33) can be
pried out of the back of the
retainer (32) with a small screwdriver. To replace with new seal,
lubricate edges of new seal,
then squeeze outside edges of
seal, forcing the seal to collapse into a figure 8. Tuck the
two outside edges of the figure
8 into the rear of the retainer,
making sure that the inner lip of
the seal faces the oil. The seal
may now be pressed firmly into
place.
TO REASSEMBLE PROCEED AS FOLLOWS:
9. The front oil seal (31A) can
now be removed by inserting a
screwdriver through the rear
of the retainer and tapping the
seal out through the front of
the retainer. Remove any excess old loc-tite from retainer.
To replace oil seal, apply a light
film of loc-tite around outside
edges of seal. Tap seal firmly
into the retainer with a wooden
dowel making certain that the
spring side of the seal is installed first and that the seal
sits squarely in the retainer.
10. For LP122A & LP122A-4000
pumps, generously lubricate the
inside of the oil seals (31A & 33)
and o-ring (32A). Next, place the
seal retainer, complete (31) over
the steel plunger base seat firmly
into the crankcase. Replace the
flinger (30).
29E 29 A 29B 29D 29C
11. If previously disassembled thoroughly clean all exposed surfaces on the
spacer (29E) and all exposed threads on the plunger bolt (29C) and the steel
plunger base (25). Threads MUST be free of old loc-tite and any other
material such as oil, grease, etc. This is necessary to ensure proper curing
of new loc-tite. Giant recommends cleaning the threads with acetone or
other suitable cleaner. Reassemble plunger assembly parts (29A, 29B, &
29E) using a new copper gasket (29D) and the cleaned plunger bolt (29C).
Slide the bolt through the center of the four (4) pieces so that the threaded
end is exposed. Apply several drops of loc-tite 243 (or equivalent)
adhesive to the threads. Thread into steel plunger base and tighten to 26
ft.-lbs. BE CERTAIN ALL PARTS ARE CENTERED WITH THE BOLT!
