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
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 3-5.
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 SAE 90 Industrial gear oil.
3. Acids, alkalines, or abrasive fluids cannot be
Crankcase oil should be changed after the
first 50 hours of operation, then at regular
pumped unless approval in writing is obtained
before operation from Giant Industries, Inc.
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.

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
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
Horsepower ratings shown are the power requirements for the pump. Gas engine power outputs

We recommend that a 1.1 service factor be specified
when selecting an electric motor as the power source.
To compute specific pump horsepower requirements,
use the following formula:

REPAIR INSTRUCTION - LP350, LP400, LP450
VALVE REPLACEMENT
1) With a 30mm wrench remove the three (3) tension plugs (#48) from top of valve casing (43).
2) Remove discharge and inlet valves (#46), pulling them upwards out of the valve casing. It maybe necessary to use a slide hammer
tool.
3) With the valve assembly pointed down, place a dowel rod through the top of valve cage. Hold assembly in hand and tap end of
dowel sharply with mallet until assembly pops free.
4) Inspect valve seats (#46A) and valve plates (#46B) for damage and replace if needed.
5) Check valve casing (#43) surfaces for damage.
6) Replace o-rings (#44A) and reinstall valve assemblies into valve casing. (Lubricate o-rings before installation.)
7) Replace tension plugs (#48) and tighten them securely.
SEAL AND PLUNGER REPLACEMENT
1) Remove the eight (8) manifold nuts and washers (#49A,B) using a 19mm wrench and pull off valve casing (#43). If needed, tap
valve casing with a rubber mallet to remove it.
2) Pull seal sleeve (#35) out of crankcase guides.
3) Remove seal case (#37) from seal sleeve.
4) Check plunger surface for wear and pitting. If none is found, proceed to step eleven.
5) If plunger (#29B) is worn, remove tension screw (#29C) with a 17mm wrench. Clean tension screw with wire brush to remove
any old locktite.
6) Discard copper gasket (#29D) and replace with new.
7) Clean the front surface of plunger/ crosshead assembly (#25).
8) Install new plunger (#29B) onto plunger/ crosshead assembly.
9) Put some locktite on both surfaces of copper gasket (#29D) and tension screw threads (#29C).
10) Secure plunger in place with tension screw (#29C) and gasket (#29D) and tighten to 33 ft. lbs.
11) Remove v-sleeves (#40) and o-ring (#41) for seal case and replace with new. Lubricate parts before reinstalling.
12) Replace seal case (#35) and seal sleeve (#37) into valve casing. Replace nuts and washers (#49A,B) and
tighten to 59 ft. lbs.
DISASSEMBLY OF CRANKCASE
1) Remove valve casing (#43) and plunger pipe (#28B), drain oil.
2) Screw off gear cover (#4) and bearing cover (#14).
3) Remove connecting rod screws (#24) and push the front of connecting rod forward as far as possible. Remove back halves of
connecting rods, note which position from which they came from.
4) Turning the crankshaft slightly, carefully hit on side of crankshaft (#22) with a rubber mallet until crankshaft is loose.
5) Check crankshaft and bearing for damage, replace if needed.
REASSEMBLY
6) Using a soft tool, press in the outer bearing ring until the outer edge lines up with the outer edge of crankcase (#1). Attach bearing
cover (#14) with shaft seal and o-ring (#16) in place. Fit crankshaft through bearing hole on the opposite side. Press in bearing
with bearing cover, keeping the shaft in a horizontal position and turning it slowly so that taper rollers touch the edge of outer
bearing ring.
7) Adjust axial bearing clearance to at least .004" and maximum at .006 by placing fitting discs (#20A & 20B) under the bearing
cover.
8) After assembly the shaft should turn easily with very little clearance.
9) Bolt connecting rod halves together making sure they are replaced in the same position from which they came from. Tighten
connecting rod screws to 264 in.-lbs.
