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
0
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 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.
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 20W-50 oil (p/n 01153) or use
SAE 80-90W Industrial Gear Lube oil
(p/n 01154),
3. Acids, alkalines, or abrasive fluids cannot be
pumped unless approval in writing is obtained
before operation from Giant Industries, Inc.
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.
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
correct nozzle size that corresponds with the pump
GPM.
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:

REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS - P57 & P57-0011
CAUTION
The stainless steel valve plugs (41 and 43) can seize (when being removed from the manifold). To release tension
beforehand, strike the plugs 1 to 2 times with a steel hammer on the top (before removing them). When replacing them,
make sure that the threads are coated with antiseize, e.g., ProPack550.
To Check Suction and Discharge Valves
Inlet Valves
1.Using a socket wrench, carefully remove valve plugs (41 and 43). Take out the suction valve adaptor (39) along with the
suction valve assembly (34-38).
2.Using a soft tool, push the valve assembly (34-38) out of the suction valve adaptor (39).
3.Replace o-rings (38, 40 and 42). Replace valve parts (34-37).
4.Carefully replace the valve plugs and tighten to 52 ft-lbs (70 NM).
Discharge Valves
5.Remove the valve plugs (43). Remove the exposed spring tension cap (34), valve spring (35) and valve plate (36).
6.Using a 12mm (diameter) valve puller, take out the valve seat (37).
7.Replace o-rings (38 and 44). Replace valve parts 34-37.
8.Carefully replace and tighten valve plugs to 52 ft-lbs (70 NM).
To Check Seals and Plunger Pipe
1.Carefully remove the valve plugs (41). Remove stud nuts (46) and washer (47) from the manifold (29). By pulling it out
towards the front. Remove the manifold from the plungers (22).
2.Take out he suction valve adaptor (39), tension spring (33), support discs (I and II) and seal unit (30, 31 and 32).
3.Check the surface of the plungers (22). Any damaged surfaces will cause accelerated wear on the seals. If the plunger
(22) is worn, the complete plunger must be changed - see the section below. The ceramic pipe alone cannot be changed
due to reasons of precision.
4.Check and clean the pressure ring and reinstall into the manifold (29).
5.Reinstall the support ring (32). Prior to replacing the seal assembly (31), grease the new seals.
6.Replace the remaining parts into the manifold (29) in the order that they were removed.
7.Evenly tighten the valve casing with the stud nuts (46) to 35 ft-lbs (47.5 NM).
To Check Plungers and Crankcase
1.If oil leaks at plunger outlet (22), the oil seal (26) and the plungers have to examined (and replaced, if necessary). After re-
moving the valve casing (29) and its components, drain the oil and remove crankcase cover (3) and bearing cover (12).
2.Remove the connecting rod screws (21) and push the outer connecting rod halves as far as possible into the crosshead guides.
Important! The connecting rods are marked for identification. Do not twist the connecting rod halves. Connecting
rods are to be fitted back onto the crankshaft journals in their exact original position.
3.While slightly turning, hit out (using a rubber hammer) the crankshaft (18) to one side. Either press out the second bearing in
the crankcase or carefully hit it out with a soft tool.
Important! Do not bend the connecting rod shanks. Check the crankshaft, connecting rod surfaces as well as the shaft
seals (26). Rough surfaces indicate a problem with lubrication and/or possible rough running of the pump. If you
suspect that the pump has been running under cavitation or heavy pulsations, make improvements on the inlet and/or
discharge connections to and from the pump.
4.If oil has been leaking through the plunger base oil seals (26), remove them by pushing them out from the backside with a
socket wrench. With the seal lip facing forward, replace them into the crankcase (1).
To Reassemble
1.Replace the front halves of the connecting rod (22) and plunger assembly (22). Make sure that they are in the same
position and orientation.
2.Using a soft tool, press in one roller bearing until it lies level with the edge of the bearing hole. Mount the other bearing onto
the crankshaft.
3.Carefully press in the crankshaft through the opposite bearing hole being particularly careful with the journals.
4.Install radial shaft seal (15), bearing cover (12) and o-ring (13).
5.Replace the back-halves of the connecting rods (to their original position and orientation) and tighten to 133 in-lbs (15
NM).
Important! After assembly has been completed, the crankshaft should turn easily (with very little movement).
6.Replace the flinger (25) on the plunger (22)
7.Replace the back cover (3) o-ring (4), manifold (29) and its contents. Tighten the nuts (46) to 35 ft-lbs (47.5 NM).
8.Make sue Fill the crankcase (1) with the proper amount of oil.
