Page 3: Register Your Guzzler
Register Your Guzzler To validate your Guzzler warranty, go to https://thebosworthco.com/register to register your pump. You will need to enter your pump’s serial number. Your pump’s serial number can be found on the side of the pump gearmotor, as shown in Figure 1. Assembling Your Pump Your Guzzler G2 pump ships with the inlet and outlet manifolds disconnected Pump serial number on side of motor Figure 1 from the pump and packed separately in the box. To assemble your pump, simply attach each manifold to either side of the two pump bodies by slipping the manifold with rubber flex couplers over the flanges of the pump bodies. (Figure 2) Secure the manifold to each pump flange with the included hose clamps to make a tight, leak‐free connection. Note that the inlet of each pump is the shorter of the two pump ports. (Figure 3). You can connect the manifolds to your pump so that the manifold end port (inlet or outlet) faces in either direction along the axis defined by the blue pump tubular housing (Figure 4). Choose an orienta on for your inlet and outlet manifolds that best suits the orienta on of your incoming and outgoing sap lines. The pump assembly rests on the inlet manifold and the blue metal leg.

(Figure 7). (Consult the factory for more detailed information on this interface.) There are two switches on the top of the pump control box; the larger is the pump power switch and the smaller is the remote‐control switch (Figure 8). To manually turn the pump on/off, turn the Control switch to Lo- Remote Control Interface on side of Con‐ cal position and turn the Power switch to On. To turn the pump troller Box on/off using the remote‐control interface, set the Power switch to Figure 7 On and turn the Control switch to Remote. The pump can now be turned on by an external device. Bosworth’s SapCheck® remote monitoring product can be used to supply this signal and remotely control the pump.

Over time, the elastomer components of the pump (i.e., the diaphragm and valves) will fail. If a diaphragm fails, the pump may continue to develop some vacuum (depending on the size of the hole/tear), but it will be significantly re‐ duced. You may see sap leaking from the diaphragm through either weep hole on the underside of the tubular pump housing. If this happens, the diaphragm should be replaced. When replacing the diaphragm, pay close a en on to the orienta on of various parts. The use of witness marks may be helpful during reassembly.

Installing a Diaphragm 3. Place the pump body up against the diaphragm and align it with the holes in the housing. The diaphragm’s outer lip should sit in the groove running around the circumference of the pump body (Figure 12). 4. With the pump body outlet port facing up, fasten the pump body to the housing using the 10 screws and nuts. Start all screws and nuts before ghtening them down. When everything is aligned, ghten screws to a maximum of 30 in‐lbs of torque. Tighten Outer lip of diaphragm fits into groove on pump screws evenly in a crisscross pa ern. body. 5.

Pump Valves Each pump body in the Guzzler G2 SapPuller pump features a pair of valves (total of 4 per pump assembly). A valve is fastened between the pump body and each of its inlet and outlet ports. (Figure 13) Valves are typically replaced in pairs; i.e., the inlet and outlet valve of a given pump body are replaced at the same ... -

“I’ve got li le or no vacuum If you have installed a shut‐off valve in front of the vacuum gauge, slowly turn the valve to on the gauge at my pump.” the off posi on to isolate the pump from your sap lines. If the vacuum gauge goes back up, then the pump is opera ng properly and you should check your lines for a leak. If the vacuum gauge doesn’t go back up, then inspect the pump to see if sap is leaking around the diaphragm. Leaking sap indicates a diaphragm is torn or has developed a hole. If the diaphragm is leaking, replace it. If no sap is leaking from the pump diaphragm, disconnect the pump from your sap lines. With the pump turned on, place your hand over the inlet/outlet of the pump to determine if you can feel pump suc on at the inlet and exhaust pressure at the outlet. If you do not feel the suc on and pressure for a pump, and there is no tear/hole in the diaphragm, then inspect the inlet and outlet valves. Remove any material that might be preven ng the valves from opening/closing properly. If the valves are torn or worn, replace them. “My pump is frozen.
