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
104
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
chart on page 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.
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.
1)Discharge Valves: Screw out 8 x hexagon screw (54), remove cover (51). Screw hexagon screw (54) into thread of plug (50) and
pull out plug. Using a clipring pliers, remove spring tension cup (44A) and valve seat (44D). If necessary, use a dia 12 pull-out
tool to remove valve seat. Cheack parts, and replace if worn.
2)Check O-rings (40/44E) and support rings (41/44F) and replace as necessary.
3)Tighten hexagon screws (54) TO 59 ft. lbs.
4)Suction Valves: Unscrew 8 x nut (47), remove valve casing (45) from seal sleeves (42). Using two screwdrivers, lever out seal
case (42) from valve casing. Remove Spring tension cup (44A) and valve seat (44D) with a clipring pliers. If necessary, use a dia
12 pull-out tool to remove valve seat. Check parts, and replace if worn.
5)Check O-rings (40/44E) and support rings (41/44F) and replace as necessary.
SEAL AND PLUNGER REPLACEMENT
1)Unscrew the 8 x nut (47), remove valve casing by pulling it out to the front. Remove seal sleeve (35). Remove tension spring
(38A) and seal parts (36-38) from seal sleeve. Check plunger surface and seals (37). Replace worn parts.
2)After removing clipring (32) and support ring (33), check leakage seal (33A) and replace if necessary.
3)If the surface of the plunger is worn, screw out the plunger (29) with a size 13 tool. Clean centring and front surface of crosshead
with plunger (25).
4)Thread new plunger carefully through oiled seals in seal sleeve. Coat thread of new plunger lightly with suitable bonding agent
(locktite).
5)Then insert seal sleeve with plunger into crankcase guide. Crank drive until plunger with crosshead (25) pushes against plunger
(29). Tighten plunger (29) to 22 ft. lbs. using a size 13 torque wrench.
NOTE: The leakage seal (39) has to be installed so that its cut-outs cover the 3 mm dia. bores of the seal sleeves (35) as well as the 3
mm dia. drip-return bores of the valve casing.
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.
