INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Required NPSH refers to water: Specic
weight 1kg/dm3, viscosity 1 °E at max. permissible revolutions.
Operation and Maintenance
Check oil level prior to starting and ensure
trouble-free water supply.
Oil: Use 33.8 . ounces (1.0 liters) of Giant’s
part number 01154 or ISO VG 220 GL4 (e.g.
Aral Degol BG220) or SAE 90 GL4 gear oil.
Initial change after 50 operating hours and
then every 500 hours, after 6 months operation in any case.
Caution when operating in damp places or
with high temperature uctuations. Oil must
be changed immediately, should condensate
(frothy oil) occur in the gear box.
Keep NPSH under control.
Max. input pressure 145 PSI (10 bar), max.
suction head -4.35 (-0.3 bar).
Pressure in discharge line and in pump must
be at zero before any maintenance to the
pump takes place. Close up suction line. Disconnect fuses to ensure that the driving motor
does not get switched on accidentally.
Make sure that all parts on the pressure side of
the unit are vented and relled, with pressure
at zero, before starting the pump.
In order to prevent air, or an air/water-mixture
being absorbed and to prevent cavitation oc-
curring, the pump-NPSHR, positive suction
head and water temperature must be kept
under control.
Cavitation and/or compression of gases
lead to uncontrollable pressure kicks which
can ruin pump and unit parts and also be
dangerous to the operator or anyone standing nearby.
Giant plunger pumps are suitable for pumping clean water and other non-aggressive or
abrasive media with a specic weight similar to
water.
Safety Rules
Before pumping other liquids - especially
inammable, explosive and toxic media
Pump operation without safety valve as well
as any excess in the temperature or speed
limits automatically voids the warranty. The
safety valve must be regulated in accordance
with the guidelines for liquid spraying units so
that the admissible operating pressure can
- the pump manufacturer must under all
circumstances be consulted with regard to
the resistance of the pump material. It is
the responsibility of the equipment manufacturer and/or operator to ensure that all
pertinent safety regulations are adhered to.
not be exceeded by more than 10%.
When the pump is in operation, the open
shaft end must be covered up by shaft pro-
tector (21), the driven shaft side and coupling
by a contact protector.

Consult the factory for special requirements that must be met if the
pump is to operate beyond one or more of the limits specied above.
Horsepower Ratings:
We recommend a 1.15 service factor be specied when selecting an electric motor as the power source.
To compute electric motor horsepower required, use the following formula: HP = (GPM X PSI) / 1450.
The formula to determine the horsepower required for a gas engine is: HP = (GPM X PSI) / 1150.
For the Application of a Hydraulic Motor:
To Determine the Torque of a Hydraulic Motor -- (GPM x PSI x 36.77) / RPM = Torque (in-lbs)

Calculating RPM / GPM of Pump:
A pump must be connected to an electric motor or gas or diesel engine with the correct ratio of pulleys
and belts to attain the required speed and GPM. The use of a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) may also
be used to control the RPM of a properly sized electric motor when variable ows are required.
(Max. Pump RPM / Rated Pump GPM) x Required Pump GPM = Required Pump RPM
To calculate a pulley diameter one (1) pulley diameter and the required pump RPM must be known:
(Pump RPM x Pump Pulley Diameter) / Motor RPM = Motor Pulley Diameter
(Motor RPM x Motor Pulley Diameter) / Pump RPM = Pump Pulley Diameter
