INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - P46W, P46W-HK, & P46HT
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
1600F (P46W), 190oF (P46W-HK), or 220oF (P46HT)
it is important to insure a positive head to the pump to
prevent cavitation. See NPSHR curve for P46HT on
page 4.
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 charts on pages 3-4.
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 synthetic or SAE 90 Gear Oil
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
Crankcase oil should be changed after the first 50 hours
temperatures.
of operation, then at regular intervals of 500 hours or
less depending on operating conditions.

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:
