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 inclina-

tion to ensure optimum lubrication.

2. The inlet to the pump should be sized for
the ow rate of the pump with no unnecessary
restrictions that can cause cavitation. Teon
tape should be used to seal all joints. If pumps

are to be operated at temperatures in excess of
1600 F, it is important to insure a positive head

to the pump to prevent cavitation.

Make sure that suction pulsation is sufciently

dampened - water column resonance must be

avoided.

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 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, connec-

tions, 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 desig-

nated 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 ob-

tained 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. Cavi­tation 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.

Important! If there is a danger of frost, the

water in the pump and in the pump ttings
(particularly the unloader valve) must be emp­tied. The second discharge port can be used

and the pump run “dry” for 1-2 minutes for this

purpose.

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.

3. Acids, alkalines, or abrasive uids cannot
be pumped unless approval in writing is ob­tained before operation from Giant Industries,
Inc.

Use Giant 20W-50 oil (p/n 01153)

4. Run the pump dry approximately 10 sec-

Crankcase oil should be changed after the

rst 50 hours of operation, then at regular inter-

onds to drain the water before exposure to

ticularly the unloader valve) must be emptied.

The second discharge port can also be used

and the pump run “dry” for 1-2 minutes for this

purpose.

Consult the factory for special requirements that must be met if the
pump is to operate beyond one or more of the limits specied above.

NOTE:

In order to drive the pump from the side opposite the present shaft extension, simply remove the valve

casing from the crankcase and rotate the pumps 180 degrees to the desired position. Be certain to
rotate the seal case (item #20) as well, so that the weep holes are down at the six o’clock position.
Exchange the oil ll and the oil drain plugs, also. Refer to the repair instructions as necessary for the
proper assembly sequence.

Horsepower Ratings:

We recommend a 1.15 service factor be specied 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
