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
1600 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. Crankshaft rotation on Giant Industries, Inc.
pumps should be made in the direction designated 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 obtained from the chart on page 3.
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 Recommended Giant Oil
Crankcase oil should be changed after the
first 50 hours of operation, then at regular
intervals of 500 hours or less depending on
operating conditions.
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
before operation from Giant Industries, Inc.
4. Run the pump dry approximately 10 seconds
to drain the water before exposure to freezing
temperatures.

Consult the factory for special requirements that must be met if the pump is
to operate beyond one or more of the limits specified above.
PULLEY INFORMATION
Pulley selection and pump speed are based on a 1725
RPM 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 and pump pulley from the same line.
2.The desired pressure is achieved by selecting the
HORSEPOWER INFORMATION
Horsepower ratings shown are the power requirements for the pump. Gas engine power outputs must
be approximately twice the pump power requirements shown above.
We recommend that a 1.1 service factor be specified
when selecting an electric motor as the power source.
To compute specific pump horsepower requirements,
use the following formula:
correct nozzle size that corresponds with the pump
GPM.

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 socket wrench,
remove the three discharge
valve plugs and three inlet
valve plugs (32). Inspect
the o-ring (33) for wear and
replace if damaged.
4) Remove the o-ring (31).
Inspect all parts for wear and
replace as necessary. Apply
one drop of loctite 243 to the
valve plugs (32) and tighten
to 125 ft. lbs.
2) Using needle nose pliers,
remove the inlet and discharge valve assemblies
(27A). Note: It may become
neccesary to remove the
valve seat (27) from the
valve casing using a
slidehammer.
5) Use a 8mm allen wrench to
remove the 8 socket head
cap screws (34). Carefully
slide the valve casing (26)
out over the plungers. Remove the weep return rings
(25).
3) By inserting a small screw
driver between the valve seat
(27) and the valve spring retainer (30), the valve assembly can be separated.
6) Remove each seal case (20)
with o-rings and oil seals (21
and 22) from the crankcase
(1).
7) Remove the pressure rings
(24), and v-sleeves (23) and
spacer ring (23A) from the
valve casing (26). Remove the
remaining v-sleeves (23B) and
pressure rings (24) from the
seal case (20).

9) Check surfaces of plunger
pipe (16B).
12) Place weep return rings (25)
over the plunger (16) and
pressure ring over plunger
(24).
10) Place each seal case (20)

over plungers (16) with
weep hole down. Generously lubricate o-rings and
oil seals before reassembly.
13) Generously lubricate
v-sleeves. Assemble spacer
rings (23A), and v-sleeves
(23) into valve casing (26).
11) Place pressure rings and
weep seals (23B) over
plungers and into each seal
case (20).
14) Slide valve casing over
plungers and seat firmly.
