INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
When the pump is in operation, the drive shaft
end and the coupling must be covered up by
either a contact-protector or by a coupling bell.
Before any maintenance to the pump takes
place the pressure in discharge line and in
pump must be at zero. Close suction line. Dis-
connect fuses to ensure that the driving motor
is not accidently switched on.
Make sure that all parts on the pressure side of
the unit are vented before starting the pump. In
order to prevent air, or an air-water-mixture
being absorbed and to prevent cavitation
occurring, the pump-NPSHR suction head and
water temperature must be kept under control.
Cavitation and/or compression of gases
lead to uncontrollable pressure-kicks which
can ruin pump and unit parts and also be
dangerous to the operator or anyone
standing nearby.
Giant Plunger Pumps are suitable for
pumping clean water and other non-agressive
or abrasive media with a specic weight similar
to water.
Before pumping other liquids - especially
pump manufacturer must under all
circumstances be consulted with regard to
the resistance of the pump material. It is the
responsibility of the equipment manufacture
and/or operator to ensure that all pertinent
safety regulations are adhered to.
Required NPSH refers to water: Specic
weight 1kg/dm3, viscosity 1°E at maximum
permissible revolutions .
Operation and Maintenance
Check oil level prior to starting and ensure
trouble-free water supply .
!Important! If there is a danger of frost, the
water in the pump and in the pump ttings
(particularly the unloader valve) must be
emptied. The second discharge port can also
be used and the pump run ‘dry’ for 1-2 min-
utes for this purpose.
Oil: Use only 8.1 ounces (0.24 litres) of Giant
Oil (p/n 01154) ISO VG 220 GL4 (e.g. Aral
Degol BG220) or SAE 90 GL4 gear oil.
Initial change after 50 operating hours and
then every 500 operating hours. In either
case change the oil once per year.
Caution! When operating in damp places or
with high temperature uctuations. Should
condensate (frothy oil) occur in the gear box
the oil must be changed immediately.
Keep NPSH under control.
Maximum input pressure 145 PSI (10 bar),
maximum suction head -4.35 PSI (-0.3 bar).
Make sure that suction pulsation is sufciently
dampened - water column resonance must
be avoided.
Safety Rules
Pump operation without safety valve as well
as any excess in temperature or speed limits,
automatically voids the warranty . The safety
valve must be regulated in accordance with
the guidelines for liquid spraying units so that
the maximum admissible operating pressure
can not be exceeded by more than 10 %.
