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 160
0
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. When viewed from the side of the pump, crankshaft rotation is clockwise on pumps with left handed
shafts and counterclockwise on pumps with right
handed shafts. 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 charts on pages 3-7 and 10.
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.
Use Giant oil - P/N 01153 .
2. Pump operation must not exceed rated pressure, volume, or RPM.
A pressure relief device
must be installed in the discharge of the system.
3. Acids, alkalines, or abrasive fluids cannot be
pumped unless approval in writing is obtained
Crankcase oil should be changed after the
before operation from Giant Industries, Inc.
first 50 hours of operation, then at regular 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
temperatures.

REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS - P300 SERIES
NOTE: Always take time to lubricate all metal and nonmetal parts with a light film of oil before reassembly.
This step will ensure proper fit, at the same time protecting the pump nonmetal parts (i.e., the elastomers)
from cutting and scoring.
1. With a 24mm socket wrench,
remove the (3) discharge valve
plugs and (3) inlet valve plugs
(#32). Inspect the o-ring (#33)
for wear and replace if damaged.
4. Remove each o-ring (#31).
Inspect all parts for wear and
replace as necessary.
2. Using a needle nose pliers,
remove the inlet and discharge
valve assemblies (#32X).
5. Apply one drop of Loctite 243
to valve plugs (32) and tighten
to 59 ft.-lbs. For pumps
manufactured prior to 5/97
tighten plugs to 37 ft-lbs.
3. The valve assemblies can be
separated by inserting a small
screw driver between the valve
seat (#27) and its valve spring
retainer (#30).
6. Next, use a 6mm allen wrench
to remove the 6 hex head cap
screws (#34).
NOTE: If there are deposits of any
kind (i.e., lime deposits) in the
valve casing, be certain the weep
holes in the weep return ring
(#25) and valve casing (#26) have
not been plugged.
7. Carefully slide the valve casing
(#26) out over the plungers
with a screwdriver placed
between the valve casing and
crankcase.
8. Remove weep return rings (#25)
from the plungers (#16).
Remove the seal case (#20)
from either crankcases (#1) or
manifold (#26) by using a
screwdriver as shown above.

9.Remove the pressure rings
(#24) and grooved seals (#23)
from the valve casing (#26).
Inspect parts for wear and
replace if necessary.
For P318 only, the spacers
(#23A) can now be removed.
12. For all pumps (except P318),
use a flat screw driver to pry
the oil seals (#19) loose from
the seal case (#20) .
For P318 Pumps
Note: Occasionally, this
procedure can be carried out
for P318 pumps. However,
for P318 pumps which have
the oil seals that remain in the
crankcase, use a 6mm allen
wrench to first loosen and
remove the tension screw
(#16C) from the plunger
pipes (#16B). Use a flat
screwdriver to pry the oil
seals loose from the crankcase (#1).
10. Remove the weep grooved
seals (23A for all pumps
except P318 & #23 for P318
only) from the seal case
(#20). For P316, P317, &
P319 pumps only, remove the
pressure rings (#24).
13. Check surfaces of the plunger
bases and plunger pipes
(#16B). A damaged surface
will cause accelerated wear on
the seals. Deposits of any kind
must be carefully removed
from the plunger surface. A
damaged plunger must be
replaced!
11. Inspect o-rings (#21 and 22)
and replace as necessary.
13A. P318 Only! Clean the old
sealant from the threads of the
tension screw and the plunger
base (16A). Place plunger pipes
over plunger base and secure
with tension screw to 220 in-lbs.

14. If the oil seals (#19) were
removed, replace them with
the primary seal lip (grooved
side) towards the crankcase
and the dust lip (tapered end)
towards the valve casing
(#26). Lubricate the seal
before replacing. Install the
oil scraper (#18) over the
plunger.
each seal case (#20).
17. For P318 only, place the
spacer (#23A) (#23B) into
the valve casing (#26). For
all pumps, generously
lubricate the grooved seals
(#23) and assemble these
items into the valve casing.
Place the weep return rings
(#25) onto each plunger
(#16). Place the pressure
rings (#24) over the plungers. Slide the valve casing
over the plungers and seat
firmly. Replace the 6 hex
head cap screws (#34) and
tighten to 216 in.-lbs. in a
crossing pattern.
15. Place each seal case (#20)
with o-rings (#'s 21 and 22)
over the plungers (#16). Be
certain the oil seal is centered
with the seal case and tap
firmly until the seal case is
seated squarely on the
crankcase (#1).For P316,
P317 & P319 pumps, place
pressure ring (#24) in seal
case).
Contact Giant Industries or you local
distributor for maintenance of the gear
end of your pump. Phone: 419/531-4600
16. With the grooved side
pointed toward the valve
casing, place the weep
grooved seals (23A for
all pumps except P318 &
#23 for P318 only) over
each plunger and into
