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.
The MP4130HT has been especially constructed for
pumping hot water e.g. steam boiler storage. The plunger
seals (40) on the water side are made out of a high
temperature-resistant material. Rinsing chambers behind
the high pressure seals through which cold water can flow
thus increasing the life of the seals are available upon
request (MP4130HTC). The cold water connections (59)
are suited to the Ermeto-pipe 6mm dia. The operator can
use hose nipples instead if he wishes. There are 1/8"
threads in the seal sleeve for this purpose.
The cold water (50oF - 86oF) can be guided into the pump
from either side and flows out on the opposite side e.g.
into a drain. The cold water flow rate should be at least
0.13 GPM and must be put into use as soon as the pump is
NPSHR (FT-HEAD)
RPM
started. If the cold water doesn’t start flowing immediately the pump
is put into operation, the ceramic plunger (29B) in particular, could
crack under the cold shock.
Important! If the location of the pump doesn’t allow for cooling,
on no account are the connections to be closed up because this is
where water from the high pressure seals has to drip out. In this
case, the holes can be used to fill the rinsing chambers with grease
suitable for high temperatures, by means of a grease gun, thus
assuring that the seals are always well greased. In the case of
water temperautre above 320F, we strongly recommend the
cold-water rinse.
Plant Lay-Out
For perfect functioning of the pump, the following points must be
adhered to.
a) Pressure in Suction Side
The stipulated NPSHR is the minimum required pressure above
vapour pressure of the medium and is never to fall short of this
figure.Temperature and vapour pressure of the medium, the geodetical height of the location, the flow rate and loss of friction in the
suction line, must all be taken into consideration. It may be necessary to install a booster pump (centrifugal pump) in the suction line.
b) Pulsation
Due to its construction, the plunger pump creates pulsation in the
suction and discharge lines. Suction pulsation in particular must be
dampened in order to prevent resonance in the suction line which in
turn, causes cavitation. Therefore, the pump is never to be connected by a rigid pipe but rather by a flexible hose (not reinforced by
steel), and if possible 1.5 to 2 times wider than the suction connection. If a booster pump is used, the hose is to be attached between
the booster pump and the high pressure pump.
If several pumps are used, each pump must have its own suction
line. If this can’t be done, a suction air chamber or a suction flow
stabilizer must be installed in front of each pump. The bladder in the
stabilizer is to be pretensioned on location.
Depending on the lay-out of the plant, a pressure accumulator may
be necessary on the discharge side. This pressure accumulator must
be installed right behind the discharge outlet of the high pressure
pu We recommend the use of only one pressure accumulator in
discharge line in order to avoid irritation which could be caused by
the different pre-tension levels in the accumulators. Gas-tension in
both the suction flow stabilizer and in the pressure accumulator are
to be checked regularly.
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 85W - 140 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
2
temperatures.

Pulley selection and pump speed are based on a
1725 PRM 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 pulley from the same line.
2.The desired pressure is acheived by selecting the
correct nozzle size that corresponds with the pump
GPM.
We recommend that a 1.1 service factor be specified
when s electing an electric motor as the power source.

back to the front.
10. Note: The following
procedure is only necessary if a stud bolt (#49)
has been damaged and
must be replaced. To
remove the manifold studs
(#49), place a stud nut
(#50), lock washer (#50A),
and second nut on each
stud. Tighten the nuts
against each other. Hold
the front nut with one
wrench, and remove the
stud bolt by turning the rear
nut counterclockwise with
another wrench. To
reassemble, turn the front
stud bolt nut clockwise.
9.Turn the manifold (#43) over and remove the rear v-sleeve snap
ring (#36). Remove rear pressure ring (#39) , rear v-sleeve
(#40) and rear support ring (#41). These parts should slide
out with little resistance. If necessary, a screwdriver may be used
to pry outward. Replace all rubber parts and inspect the metal
parts for wear.
11. To remove the ceramic plungers, turn the plunger bolt (#29C)
counterclockwise with a 13mm socket. Use a steady torque to
prevent ceramic plunger sleeve damage. Loosen and remove
the plunger bolt assembly (#29C and #29D) and replace the
seal washer (#29D).

Gear End Disassembly
Note:Make certain that the plungers (29B) have been removed before starting the following sequence.
12. Make sure the oil is drained from the pump before removing the crankcase cover (#4). Remove all screws (#10). Inspect the
crankcase cover o-ring (#5) for damage and replace it as necessary.
13. Remove the connecting rod screws and washers (#'s 24A and 24B) with a 6mm allen wrench. Remove the back halves of each
connecting rod (#24) . Push the connecting rods down as far as possible into the crankcase (#1) housing. Note that the
connecting rod halves are numbered (or colored) and that the numbers (or colors) must be matched for reassembly.
14. Remove the crankshaft bearing cover screws (#17) with a 13mm wrench. Remove the key (#23) from the crankshaft (#22).
15. Remove the bearing cover (#14) and any shims (#20A) if any. Remember to replace shims on the same side of the crankcase
(#1) during the reassembly.
16. Steady the pump gear end and, using a rubber mallet, tap the crankshaft (#22) from one side. The far side bearing race will be
removed and the near side race will remain in the crankcase. The roller bearings (#20) will remain on the crankshaft. When
both ends are free, the crankshaft can be removed by hand.
17. To remove the remaining bearing race, place a dowel against the inside edge of the race and tap it out with a rubber mallet.
This is done only if the race wear surface has been damage.
18. Inspect the bearing race removed with the crankshaft (#22) and replace if wear surface is damaged.
19. Note: The following procedure is only necessary if the inspection shows evidence of heavy wear. Inspect the crankshaft
(#22) and bearings (#20) for wear. To remove the roller bearings from the crankshaft, use a three inch push puller with a pulley
attachment. To remount the bearings, tap the bearings down the well-lubricated crankshaft with the Giant Bearing Tool. Be
sure that the bearing is firmly seated.
20. Remove the connecting rod (#24) with the attached crosshead/plunger assembly (#25) from the crankcase (#1) by pulling it
straight out. The oil seals (#31) may now be removed by tapping them out through the front of the crankcase. Be careful not
to damage the snap ring.
21. Inspect the surfaces of the crosshead/plunger assembly (#25) and connecting rods (#24) for heavy scoring or galling due to
poor lubrication. Check for play at the joint between connecting rod crosshead/plunger assembly.
22. To remove the crosshead pin (#28) from the crosshead/plunger assembly (#25), the assembly should be positioned in such
a manner to prevent damage to the crosshead when driving the pin out. The crosshead pin can be driven out by tapping on
the tapered side of the pin
Reassembly sequence
Note: Always take time to lubricate all metal and nonmetal parts with a light film of oil before reassembly. This step will help
ensure a proper fit, at the same time it will protect the pump nonmetal parts (elastomers) from cutting and scoring.
23. Take the crosshead/plunger rod assembly and insert the connecting rod (#24) into the crosshead/plunger assembly (#25).
Drive the tapered end of the crosshead pin (#28) into the beveled side of the crosshead and through the connecting rod
completing the assembly.
Note: The crosshead pin should not extend beyond either side of the crosshead in order to prevent damage to the crosshead
bore of the crankcase.
24. Inspect the crankcase crosshead guides for any possible damage.
25. Replace the connecting rod (#24), crosshead/plunger rod assembly (#25) into the crankcase (#1).
26. If removed previously, replace the far side bearing race into the crankcase. Tap with a rubber mallet until the edges are flush
with the crankcase surface.
27. Remove the old crankshaft seal (#15) from the bearing cover (#14). Lubricate the edges of the new seal and install using the
standard Giant Bearing Tool. Remove the bearing tool and tap around the perimeter of the seal with a rubber mallet to firmly
seat the seal. Position the far bearing cover on the crankcase (#1) and insert the cover bolts (#17). Tighten the cover evenly
to the crankcase, setting the bearing into position. Torque the cover bolts to 125 inch-pounds.
28. Insert the crankshaft (#22) with the mounted bearings (#20) through the near side of the crankcase (#1). Make certain thatthe numbers (or colors) or the crankshaft correspond to the numbers (or colors) on the connecting rods (#24). Reinstall the
near side bearing race by inserting it into the crankcase. Supporting the crankshaft with one hand, tap the race with a rubber
mallet until the edge is flush with the crankcase.

29. Replace any shims (#20A) and position the bearing cover (#14) as before. Tighten the bearing cover bolts (#17)
evenly to position the bearing race. Torque the bolts to 125 inch-pounds. Once the crankshaft reassembly is
complete, oil the crankshaft
races freely before replacing the connecting rod (#24) end caps.
30. Reassemble the connecting rods (#24), matching the numbered (or colored) halves. Torque the connecting rod
bolts (#24A) to 250 inch-pounds.
31. To replace the oil seal (#31) apply locktite to the outside edges of the seal and install from the front of the
crankcase (#1). The side of the seal with the spring must face the oil. Make sure that the face of the seal is flush
with the crankcase.
29B 29D 29C
32. Inspect the ceramic plungers (#29B) and replace them if
necessary. Clean the ends of the ceramic and remount onto the
crosshead/plunger assembly. Make certain that the end of the
plunger which is not counter-bored is facing the discharge
side of the pump. Install the seal washer (#29D) on the bolt
assembly.
33a.Torque the ceramic plunger
bolt assembly to 300 inchpounds. If originally
removed, reinstall the stud
bolts (#49).
34. Install the rear support ring
(#41), rear v-sleeve (#40),
rear pressure ring (#39). Install the snap ring (#36).
36. Reassemble the discharge
valve assembly by placing
the valve plate (#45), spring
(#46), and spring retainer
(#47) on top of the valve seat
(#44). Press fit together.
33. Clean the bolt threads (#29C), apply
locktite, and remount.

37. Place the entire discharge assembly into discharge port
making certain the assembly
is properly seated. Install discharge plug (#48) and hand
tighten.
38. Reassemble the inlet valve
assembly in the reverse order of step #7. Make certain all the components are
press fit together and that the
spring retainer (#54) is
slightly counter sunk in the
valve housing (#52). Grease
the o-ring (#53) and install it
on to the valve housing. Reinstall the entire inlet valve
assembly into the manifold
(#43). install the tension
plugs (#42A) and tighten.
39. Again lubricate the plungers
(29B) and slide the manifold
(#43) gently and evenly over
the plungers. Press the manifold firmly into place against
