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
0
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 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 and 6.
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.
2. Pump operation must not exceed rated
pressure, volume, or RPM. A pressure relief
device must be installed in the discharge of the
system.
Use Giant gear lube oil (p/n 1154) or the
equivalent SAE 90 Industrial gear oil.
3. Acids, alkalines, or abrasive fluids cannot be
pumped unless approval in writing is obtained
Crankcase oil should be changed after the
before operation from Giant Industries, Inc.
first 50 hours of operation, then at regular
intervals of 500 hours or less depending on
operating conditions.
4. Run the pump dry approximately 10 seconds
to drain the water before exposure to freezing
temperatures.

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 INFORMATION
We recommend that a 1.1 service factor be
specified when selecting an electric motor as
the power source. To compute specific pump

To Dismantle Gear End
After removing valve casing (43) and plunger pipe (29B), drain oil. Remove gear cover (4) and bearing cover
(14). Loosen connecting rod screws (24A) and push the front of the connecting rod (24) forward as far as
possible into the crosshead guide.
IMPORTANT! Connecting rods (24) are marked for identification. Do not twist connecting rod halves.
Connecting rod is to be reinstalled in the same position on shaft journals.
Turning the crankshaft (22) slightly, hit it out carefully to the side with a rubber hammer.
IMPORTANT! Do not bend the connecting rod (24) shanks. Check crankshaft (22) and connecting rod
(24) surfaces, radial shaft seals (15) and taper roller bearings (20).
To Reassemble
Using a soft tool, press in the outer bearing ring until the outer edge lines up with the outer edge of the bearing
hole. Remove bearing cover (14) together with radial shaft seal (15) and o-ring (16). Fit crankshaft (22)
through bearing hole on the opposite side. Press in outer bearing and tighten it inwards with the bearing cover,
keeping the crankshaft in vertical position and turning slowly so that the taper rollers of the bearings touch the
edge of the outer bearing ring. Adjust axial bearing clearance to at least 0.1mm and maximum 0.15mm by
placing fitting discs (20A and 20B) under the bearing cover.
IMPORTANT! After assembly has been completed, the crankshaft should turn easily with very little clearance. Tighten connecting rod screws (24A) to 310 in.-lbs.
