INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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. The maximum inlet fluid temperature is 80°F.
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. Before beginning the 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. Your Giant Industries replacement pump comes pre-filled to the proper level with synthetic oil although checking for the proper oil level is advised after removing the red shipping plug and installing your black crankcase breather tube.
2. The proper level of oil in the GXH2525 series pump will be just slightly above half full. This pump does not have sight glass so you will need to look into the pump from the top in order to view your oil level. The crankcase oil capacity for your GXH2525 Series Horizontal pumps is 4.1 ounces of oil.
3. To change or add oil use only Mobil 1 20W50 Full Synthetic oil
4. DO NOT OVERFILL CRANKCASE
5. Crankcase oil should be changed after the first 50 hours of operation, then at regular intervals of 100 hours or less depending on the operating conditions of the pump.
6. Pump operation must not exceed the rated pressure, volume, or a maximum rate of 3450 RPM’S. Failure to follow these instructions could result in damage to your pressure pump.
7.  Do not flow Acids’ Alkaline or Abrasive fluids through your GXH2525 series pressure pump for cleaning purposes. These fluids must be applied with the downstream chemical injector provided with your pressure pump.
8. Your GXH2525 series pump should be conditioned after every use to help prevent any type of corrosion from building up inside of the part and components of your pump head. We suggest you use Pump Saver Part # 7074403GS, RV Antifreeze or WD-40 to help prevent corrosion inside the brass head of your pump.
9. Always winterize your pressure pump before storing your pump in climates that will have any chance of below-freezing temperatures. A small amount of water left in your pump could cause serious damage to your pump and will not be covered under the manufactures warranty.

Specifications

Model GX Series

1. A 25 PSIG (2 Bar) minimum inlet pressure is required.
2. The pump itself can be driven in either direction of rotation; however, the cooling fan on TEFC motors must always be positioned so that the cooling air is drawn from the non-drive end of the motor towards the pump.

HORSEPOWER RATINGS:
The rating shown is the power requirements for the pump. Gas engine power outputs must be approximate twice the pump power requirements shown above.

We recommend a 1.15 service factor be specified when selecting an electric motor as the power source. To compute specific pump horsepower requirements, use the Following formula:

Electric HP = (GPM X PSI) / 1450
Gasoline HP = (GPM X PSI) / 1100

REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS – GX SERIES

1. With a 14mm socket wrench, remove the three discharge valve plugs (22). Inspect the valve plug o-rings (23) for wear, and replace as necessary.
   
2. Remove the valve spring (18) and valve cone (36) from the manifold (35). Inspect the parts for wear and replace as necessary.
   
3. With a crescent wrench, remove the kickback valve spring retainer (47). Inspect the o-ring (46) for wear and replace as necessary. Remove the kickback valve spring (43), kickback valve cone (42), and the o-ring (41) from the manifold (35). Inspect the parts for wear and replace as necessary.
   
4. With a 19mm wrench, remove the adjusting screw plug (34). Unscrew the adjusting screw (33) from the adjusting screw plug (34). Inspect the o-rings (23 & 26) for wear and replace as necessary
5. Remove the adjusting spring (31), pressure spring (32), washer (30), and bypass valve ball (29) from the manifold (35). Inspect the parts for wear and replace as necessary.
