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
0
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 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 shutoff 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 shutoff 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.
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 Giant Oil # 01154 or the equivalent
SAE 80W - 90 Industrial Gear oil
3. Acids, alkalines, or abrasive fluids
cannot be pumped unless approval in writing
Crankcase oil should be changed after the
first 50 hours of operation, then at regular inter-
is obtained before operation from Giant
Industries, Inc.
vals 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.

NOTES:
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 fill and the oil drain plugs,
also. Refer to the repair instructions as necessary for the proper assembly sequence.

REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS - P450-5100
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 lb-ft (170
Nm)
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.
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 seal adaptors
(20) and weep return
rings (25) from the valve
casing.
IMPORTANT! The grooved
seal (23) on the high-pressure
side is to be fitted carefully into
the valve casing (26) using a
screwdriver. Under no circumstances must the seal surface
in the valve casing or the seal
lip be damaged.
7) Remove the pressure
rings (24) and v-sleeves
(23) from the valve
casing (26).
8) Remove the weep
grooved seal (23) out of
the seal adaptor (20).
Check O-rings (21).

REASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS - P450-5100
9) Check surfaces of plunger
(16). Damaged surfaces
cause accelerated seal
wear. Deposits of all kinds
must be removed from the
plungers.
IMPORTANT! Plunger
surfaces are not to be
damaged. If there are
lime deposits in the
pump, care must be
taken that the drip-return
bore in parts (25) and
(26) ensure trouble-free
drip-return.
IMPORTANT! Care must be
taken that glue does not get
between the plunger pipe
(16B) and plunger base (16A).
The plunger pipe should not
be strained by eccentric
tightening of the tension
screw or through damage to
front surface of plunger,
otherwise it is liable to
fracture.
10) If the plunger pipe (16B),
or oil seal (19) is worn, remove tension screw (16D)
and remove along with
plunger pipe (16B). Check
and clean plunger surface
(16A), check oil scraper
(16H). Remove the seal
case (20) and, if necessary, replace oil seals with
seal lips facing crankcase
(1).Cover thread of tension screw (16D) with a
thin film of Loctite and
tighten carefully to 221265 in-lbs (25-30NM).
11) After installation of high
pressure seals (23), place
seal adapter (20) with weep
seals & pressure ring
installed, weep return ring
(25) and high pressure
weep return ring (24) over
plungers. Slide valve casing
over plungers and seat
firmly. Replace the 8
socket head cap screws
(34) and tighten to 29.5 lb-ft
(40 Nm) in a crossing
pattern (as shown on the
right).

Gear End
If oil leaks where the plunger (16) extends from the crankcase (1), the oil seals (19) and plungers (16) must be examined
and replaced if necessary. Remove oil plug (5) and drain oil; remove crankcase cover (3). Remove valve casing (26), and
seal case (20). Then remove plunger pipes (16B) and oil scrapers (16H) as described above.
IMPORTANT Before removing conn-rods be aware of their position on the crankshaft so as to return them to the same
location when re-assembling.
Remove screws from connecting rods (15), separate the back conn-rod half from the crankshaft and the front conn-rod half.
The conn-rod halves must be kept as pairs - do not mix them up. Push conn-rod shaft as far as possible into the crosshead
guide. Remove screws (10) and pry bearing covers (7,8) off gently with a screwdriver.
Carefully remove crankshaft (13) by threading it through the conn-rods (15), making sure not to bend the conn-rods. Remove
and disassemble conn-rods and plungers (16) paying close attention not to damage the plungers. Pry out oil seal (19) using
a screwdriver. Examine plunger surfaces (16A) and replace if necessary.
To re-assemble, first press the oil seal (19) into the crankcase. Then insert conn-rods with plungers remembering their
original location. Thread in the crankshaft (13). Replace bearing cover (7) and o-ring (9) together with the radial shaft seal
(11) and roller bearing (12) and fix in place with screws (10). Replace roller bearing (12), bearing cover (8) and o-ring (9).
Adjust the clearance by fitting shims (8A) under the bearing cover as required to ensure that the crankshaft (13) turns easily
without play being felt. Finally, mount conn-rod halves on crankshaft matching them with other half and tighten screws (15)
to 97 lb-in (11 Nm). Replace crankcase cover (3) and o-ring (4). When remounting the valve casing (26), tighten hexagon
socket screws (34) to 29.5 lb-ft (40 Nm).
To Move Crankshaft to Opposite Side
Remove the valve casing (26) and seal case (20). Then rotate the crankcase 180°. Interchange the oil plug ((5B) with oil
dipstick (2). Rotate the crankcase cover (3) 180°. Remount the valve casing together with the seal casing and the seal
adapters (20). Make sure that the seal adapters are rotated in order that the bores face downwards.
