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.
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 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 80-90W Industrial Gear Lube Oil (p/n
01154)
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. 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.
NOTE: Contact Giant Industries for Service School Information. Phone: (419)-531-4600
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.
Pump speeds of 640 RPM and above require a minimum inlet pressure of 12 psig.
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:

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.
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
doesn’t come out, use a valve puller to remove.
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.
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.Remove
the plunger pipe
(29B) before inspect
ing oil seals (31A &
33). Dissassemble the
gear end and push out
the seals from the
back of the pump.

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:
new copper gasket (29) when repairing the plunger assembly.
Always use a
7. 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.
29E 29A29B29D29C
8.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!
9.Lubricate weep seal (36). Place, weep seal (36), and pressure ring (36A)
into the seal sleeve (35). Assemble the o-ring (35A) onto seal sleeve and
lubricate.

10. Place support ring (41) and
v-sleeves (40) into valve
casing.

16. Fill crankcase with approximately 116 fluid ounces of Giant oil or equivalent SAE 90
industrial gear oil and check oil
level of the crankcase with the
dipstick. Proper level is center
of two lines. Reinstall your Giant LP pump into your system.
