Assembly
BE SURE THE CONTROL SWITCH IS IN THE ???OFF??? POSITION. Failure to do so may cause injury from electrocution or hazardous moving parts.
Note: When lubricating parts, use an approved food
grade lubricant (example: Taylor Lube).
Step 1
Install beater drive shaft. Slide the
Install the drive shaft into the freezing cylinder, hex end first, and into the rear shell bearing until the seal fits securely over the rear shell bearing. Be certain the drive shaft fits into the drive coupling without binding.
Step 2
Before installing the beater assembly, check the scraper blades for any nicks or signs of wear. If any nicks are present or if the blade is worn, replace both blades. If blades are in good condition, install the scraper blade clip over the scraper blade. Place the rear scraper blade over the rear holding pin (knife edge to the outside). Holding the blade on the beater, turn it over and install the front blade the same way.
Holding the blades in position, insert the beater assembly into the freezing cylinder and slide into position over the drive shaft. Turn the beater slightly to be certain that the beater is properly seated. When in position, the beater will not protrude beyond the front of the freezing cylinder.
Step 3
Install the baffle assembly. Lubricate the
Install the bearing end of the baffle assembly into the pilot hole in the drive shaft.
Step 4
Assemble the freezer door with the ???Ice Buster??? (door spout clearing device). To assemble the door with the ice buster, install the
Insert the draw valve into the door, leaving approximately 1/2??? of the valve sticking out the top of the door.
Rotate the draw valve so the flats on the top of the draw valve are perpendicular to the door face (see illustration).
Insert the ice buster through the door spout and into the slot located just above the lower
With the ice buster in place, rotate the draw valve to allow installation of the draw handle. This will lock the ice buster in place. Install the draw handle pin, and close the draw valve by moving the handle to the left.
Place the large rubber gasket into the groove on the back side of the freezer door.
Slide the white plastic front bearing onto the bearing hub making certain that the flanged end of the bearing is resting against the freezer door. Do not lubricate the door gasket or front bearing.
Step 5

Section 7 Important: Operator Checklist
During Cleaning And Sanitizing
Cleaning and sanitizing schedules are governed by your State or local regulatory agencies and must be followed accordingly. The following check points should be stressed during the cleaning and sanitizing
operations. WE RECOMMEND DAILY CLEANING
AND SANITIZING.
ALWAYS FOLLOW LOCAL HEALTH CODES.
Troubleshooting Guide
j 1. Thoroughly clean and sanitize the machine regularly, including complete disassembly and brush cleaning.
j2. Use all brushes supplied for thorough cleaning. The brushes are specially designed to reach all mix passageways.
j3. Use the white bristle brush to clean the mix inlet hole which extends from the mix hopper down to the rear of the freezing cylinder.
j4. Use the black bristle brush to thoroughly clean the rear shell bearing at the rear of the freezing cylinder. Be sure to have a generous amount of cleaning solution on the brush.
j5. Properly prepare the cleaning and sanitizing solutions. Read and follow label directions
carefully. Too strong of a solution may damage the parts and too weak of a solution will not do an adequate job of cleaning or sanitizing.
j6. Using a screwdriver and cloth towel, keep the female hex drive socket and rear shell bearing clean and free of lubricant and mix deposits.
j 7. IF LOCAL HEALTH CODES PERMIT THE USE OF RERUN, make sure the rerun is stored in a sanitized, covered stainless steel container and used the following day. Discard all rerun once a week.
Regular Maintenance Checks
j1. Rotate scraper blades to allow both sides of the knife edge to wear evenly. This will contribute to
j 2. Replace scraper blades that are nicked or damaged.
j 3. Before installing the beater, be certain that scraper blades are properly attached over the beater pins.
j4. Dispose of
j5. Follow all lubrication procedures as outlined in the ???Assembly??? instructions of this manual.
j 6. Check rear shell bearing for signs of wear (excessive mix leakage in rear drip pan) and be certain it is properly cleaned.
j7. Check the condenser for accumulation of dirt and lint. Dirty condensers will reduce the efficiency and capacity of the machine. Condensers should be cleaned monthly with a soft brush. Never use screwdrivers or other metal probes to clean between the fins.
j8. If your machine is water cooled, check the water lines for kinks or leaks. Kinks can occur when the machine is moved back and forth for cleaning or maintenance purposes. Deteriorated or cracked water lines should be
replaced only by an authorized Taylor mechanic.
Winter Storage
If the place of business is to be closed during the winter months, it is important to protect the freezer by following certain precautions, particularly if the building is to be left unheated and subject to freezing conditions.
Disconnect the freezer from the main power source to prevent possible electrical damage.
On water cooled freezers, disconnect the water supply. Relieve pressure on spring in water valve. Use air pressure on the outlet side to blow out any remaining water in the condenser, and then add a liberal amount of permanent type auto
This is extremely important. Failure to follow this procedure may cause severe and costly damage to the refrigeration system.
Wrap detachable parts of the freezer such as beater and blades, drive shaft, baffle and freezer door, and place in a protected dry place. Rubber trim parts and gaskets can be protected by wrapping with
