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 at 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
ow rate of the pump with no unnecessary re-
strictions that can cause cavitation. Teon tape
should be used to seal all joints. If pumps are to
be operated at temperatures in excess of 160
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 ow rate to prevent line pressure loss to the work area. It is es-
sential 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, con-
nections, 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 pulsa-
tion. 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 desig-
nated by the arrows on the pump crankcase.
Reverse rotation may be safely achieved by fol-
lowing a few guidelines available upon request
from Giant Industries, Inc. Required horsepower
for system operation can be obtained from the
charts on pages 3-9.
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. Cavi-
tation will result in severe damage. Always
remember to check that all plumbing valves are
open and that pumped media can ow 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 crank-
case so that oil level is between the two lines on
the oil dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL.
Use Giant recommended Oil
P/N 01153 (20W-50)
2. Pump operation must not exceed rated pres-
sure, volume, or RPM. A pressure relief device
must be installed in the discharge of the system.
3. Acids, alkalines, or abrasive uids cannot be
pumped unless approval in writing is obtained
before operation from Giant Industries, Inc.
Crankcase oil should be changed after the
rst 50 hours of operation, then at regular intervals of 500 hours or less depending on operat-
ing conditions.
4. Run the pump dry approximately 10 seconds
to drain the water before exposure to freezing
temperatures.

P200-3100 Series - 18mm Versions- Pump Specifications
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.
The formula to determine the horsepower required for a diesel engine is: HP = (GPM X PSI) / 1250.
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
