Note: Continuing research results in steady improvements; therefore, information in this manual is subject to change without notice.

Notes:

This machine is designed for indoor use only.

DO NOT install the machine in an area where a water jet could be used. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious electrical shock.

Water Connections

(Water Cooled Units Only)

An adequate cold water supply must be provided with a hand shut--off valve. On the underside of the base pan, two 3/8??? I.P.S. (for single-head units) or two 1/2??? I.P.S. (for double-head units) water connections for inlet and outlet have been provided for easy hook-up. 1/2??? inside diameter water lines should be connected to the machine. (Flexible lines are recommended, if local codes permit.) Depending on local water conditions, it may be advisable to install a water strainer to prevent foreign substances from clogging the automatic water valve. There will be only one water ???in??? and one water ???out??? connection. DO NOT install a hand shut-off valve on the water ???out??? line! Water should always flow in this order: first through the automatic water valve; second, through the condenser; and third, through the outlet fitting to an open trap drain.

Air Cooled Units

Air cooled units require a minimum of 6??? (152 mm) of clearance around both sides and 0??? at the rear of the freezer. This is required to allow for adequate air flow across the condenser(s). Failure to allow adequate clearance can reduce the refrigeration capacity of the freezer and possibly cause permanent damage to the compressor(s).

Electrical Connections

Each freezer requires one power supply. Check the data label on the freezer for fuse, circuit ampacity and electrical specifications. Refer to the wiring diagram provided inside of the electrical box, for proper power connections.

In the United States, this equipment is intended to be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70--1987. The purpose of

the NEC code is the practical safeguarding of persons and property from hazards arising from the use of electricity. This code contains provisions considered necessary for safety. Compliance therewith and proper maintenance will result in an installation essentially free from hazard!

In all other areas of the world, equipment should be installed in accordance with the existing local codes. Please contact your local authorities.

Stationary appliances which are not equipped with a power cord and a plug or other device to disconnect the appliance from the power source must have an all--pole disconnecting device with a contact gap of at least 3 mm installed in the external installation.

CAUTION: THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE

PROPERLY GROUNDED! FAILURE TO DO SO

CAN RESULT IN SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY

FROM ELECTRICAL SHOCK!

Compressor Warranty Disclaimer

The refrigeration compressor(s) on this machine are warranted for the term indicated on the warranty card accompanying this machine. However, due to the Montreal Protocol and the U.S. Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, many new refrigerants are being tested and developed, thus seeking their way into the service industry. Some of these new refrigerants are being advertised as drop-in replacements for numerous applications. It should be noted that, in the event of ordinary service to this machine???s refrigeration system, only the refrigerant specified on the affixed data label should be used. The unauthorized use of alternate refrigerants will void your compressor warranty. It will be the owner???s responsibility to make this fact known to any technician he employs.

It should also be noted that Taylor does not warrant the refrigerant used in its equipment. For example, if the refrigerant is lost during the course of ordinary service to this machine, Taylor has no obligation to either supply or provide its replacement either at billable or unbillable terms. Taylor does have the obligation to recommend a suitable replacement if the original refrigerant is banned, obsoleted, or no longer available during the five year warranty of the compressor.

The Taylor Company will continue to monitor the industry and test new alternates as they are being developed. Should a new alternate prove, through our testing, that it would be accepted as a drop-in replacement, then the above disclaimer would become null and void. To find out the current status of an alternate refrigerant as it relates to your compressor warranty, call the local Taylor Distributor or the Taylor Factory. Be prepared to provide the Model/Serial Number of the unit in question.

Section 4 Operator Parts Identification

Beater Assembly

Control Switch

The center position is ???OFF???. The ???WASH??? position activates the beater motor only. The ???AUTO??? position allows the beater motor and compressor to run.

Indicator Light - ???Mix Low???

Located on the front of the machine is a mix level indicating light. When the light is flashing, it indicates that the mix hopper has a low supply of product and should be refilled as soon as possible. Neglecting to add mix when the light comes on will cause the machine to sway and may eventually cause damage to the beater assembly and freezer door.

Indicator Light - ???Mix Out???

Also located on the front of the machine is a mix out indicating light. When the light is flashing, it indicates that the hopper is empty and the mix supply needs replenishing. To prevent damage to the unit, refrigeration discontinues automatically when the mix out indicator lights.

Following are step-by-step operating procedures for the model 390 slush freezer. This unit has a 20 quart (18.9 liter) mix hopper and the freezing cylinder holds 7 quarts (6.6 liters) of slush product.

We begin our instructions at the point where we enter the store in the morning and finds the parts disassembled and laid out to air dry from the previous night???s brush cleaning.

These opening procedures will show you how to assemble these parts into the freezer, sanitize them and prime the freezer with the slush base you have selected in preparation to serve your first portion.

If you are disassembling the machine for the first time or need information to get to this starting point in our instructions, turn to ???Disassembly??? on page 10, and start there.

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 o-ring into the first groove on the drive shaft. Lubricate the groove, o-ring, and shaft portion that comes in contact with the bearing on the beater drive shaft. DO NOT lubricate the hex end of the drive shaft. Slide the seal over the shaft and groove until it snaps into place. Fill the inside portion of the seal with 1/4??? more lubricant and evenly lubricate the flat side of the seal that fits onto the rear shell bearing.

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 o-ring, and install it on the front end of the baffle assembly. Install the guide bearing on the rear end of the baffle assembly.

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 o-rings on the draw valve and lubricate. (See illustrations on page 10.)

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 o-ring.

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

Install the freezer door. Place the front end of the baffle into the hole in the center of the door. Position the door onto the four studs on the front of the freezing cylinder and push the door into place. Install the four handscrews onto the studs and tighten them equally in a criss-cross pattern to insure the door is snug. DO NOT over-tighten the handscrews.

Note: If the freezer door does not go into place easily, position open end of beater assembly in the 11 o???clock position.

Step 6

Rotate the baffle assembly so the hole in the end of the shaft is vertical. Insert the baffle arm between the draw valve spout supports and into the hole in the baffle assembly.

Note: During operation, the baffle arm rests on the spout support.

Step 7

Install the rear drip pan. Slide the long drip pan into the hole in the front panel.

Step 8

Install the front drip tray and the splash shield under the door spout.

Step 9

Lay the hopper gasket and feed tube in the bottom of the mix hopper.

Sanitizing

Step 1

Prepare two gallons (7.6 liters) of an approved 100 PPM chlorine based sanitizing solution (example: Kay-5r). USE WARM WATER AND FOLLOW THE

MANUFACTURER???S SPECIFICATIONS.

Step 2

Pour the two gallons (7.6 liters) of sanitizing solution into the hopper and allow it to flow into the freezing cylinder.

Step 3

While the solution is flowing into the freezing cylinder, brush clean the mix hopper, mix inlet hole, feed tube and mix level sensing probes.

Step 4

Place the control switch in the ???WASH??? position. This will cause the sanitizing solution in the freezing cylinder to be agitated. Allow the solution to agitate for five minutes.

Step 5

Place an empty mix pail beneath the door spout and move the draw handle to the right. Draw off all the sanitizing solution. When the sanitizer stops flowing from the door spout, move the draw handle to the left and place the control switch in the ???OFF??? position.

Step 6

With sanitized hands, assemble the hopper gasket around the top edge of the mix hopper. Stand the feed tube in the corner of the hopper.

Priming

Step 1

With a mix pail beneath the door spout, move the draw handle to the right. Fill the hopper with FRESH slush product and allow it to flow into the freezing cylinder. This will force out any remaining sanitizing solution. When full strength mix is flowing from the door spout, move the draw handle to the left.

Step 2

When the slush product has stopped bubbling down into the freezing cylinder, install the feed tube in the mix inlet hole.

Step 3

Place the control switch in the ???AUTO??? position. To begin refrigeration, raise the rod resting on top of the valve handle pin. When the unit cycles off, the product will be at serving viscosity.

Step 4

Place the hopper cover into position.

Closing Procedures

To disassemble the model 390, the following items will be needed:

S Two cleaning pails

S Sanitized stainless steel rerun can with lid S Necessary brushes (provided with freezer)

Draining Product From The

Freezing Cylinder

Step 1

Place the control switch in the ???OFF??? position as far ahead of cleaning time as possible. This will allow frozen product to soften for easier cleaning.

Step 2

Remove the hopper cover, gasket, and feed tube. Take these parts to the sink for cleaning.

Step 3

With a sanitized pail under the door spout, place the control switch in the ???WASH??? position and move the draw handle to the right. When all the product stops flowing from the door spout, move the draw handle to the left and place the control switch in the ???OFF??? position. If local health codes permit the use of rerun, empty the rerun into its can. Cover the container and place it in the walk-in cooler.

ALWAYS FOLLOW LOCAL HEALTH CODES.

Rinsing

Step 1

Pour two gallons (7.6 liters) of cool, clean water into the mix hopper. With the brushes provided, scrub the mix hopper, mix inlet hole and mix level sensing probes.

Step 2

With a mix pail beneath the door spout, place the control switch in the ???WASH??? position and move the draw handle to the right. Drain all the rinse water from the freezing cylinder. When the rinse water stops flowing from the door spout, move the draw handle to the left and place the control switch in the ???OFF??? position.

Repeat this procedure until the rinse water being drawn from the freezing cylinder is clear.

Cleaning

Step 1

Prepare two gallons (7.6 liters) of an approved cleaning solution (example: Kay-5r). USE WARM

WATER AND FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURER???S

SPECIFICATIONS.

Step 2

Pour the two gallons (7.6 liters) of cleaning solution into the hopper and allow it to flow into the freezing cylinder.

Step 3

While the solution is flowing into the freezing cylinder, brush clean the mix hopper, mix inlet hole, and mix level sensing probes.

Step 4

Place the control switch in the ???WASH??? position. This will cause the cleaning solution to be agitated.

Step 5

Place an empty mix pail beneath the door spout and move the draw handle to the right. Draw off all of the cleaning solution. When the solution stops flowing from the door spout, move the draw handle to the left and place the control switch in the ???OFF??? position.

Disassembly

BE SURE THE CONTROL SWITCH IS IN THE ???OFF??? POSITION. Failure to do so may cause injury from electrocution or hazardous moving parts.

Step 1

Remove the handscrews, freezer door, baffle assembly, beater assembly, scraper blades, and drive shaft from the freezing cylinder. Take these parts to the sink for cleaning.

Step 2

Remove the front drip tray and splash shield and take them to the sink for cleaning.

Brush Cleaning

Step 1

Prepare a sink with an approved cleaning solution (example: Kay-5r). USE WARM WATER AND FOL-

LOW THE MANUFACTURER???S SPECIFICATIONS. (If another approved cleaner is used, dilute according to label instructions.)

IMPORTANT: Follow label directions, as too STRONG of a solution can cause parts damage, while too MILD of a solution will not provide adequate cleaning.) Make sure all brushes provided with the freezer are available for brush cleaning.

Step 2

Remove the o-ring and seal from the drive shaft.

Note: To remove o-rings, use a single service towel to grasp the o-ring. Apply pressure in an upward direction until the o-ring pops out of its groove. With the other hand, push the top of the o-ring forward and it will roll out of the groove and can be easily removed. If there is more than one o-ring to be removed, always remove the rear o-ring first. This will allow the o-ring to slide over the forward rings without falling into the open grooves.

Step 3

Remove the draw valve handle and pin, ice buster, draw valve, front bearing and gasket from the freezer door. Remove the scraper blade clips from the scraper blades. Remove the two o-rings from the draw valve, and the o-ring and guide bearing from the baffle assembly.

Step 4

Return to the freezer with a small amount of cleaning solution. Brush clean the rear shell bearing at the back of the freezing cylinder with the black bristle brush.

Step 5

Remove the rear drip pan.

Note: If the drip pan is filled with an excessive amount of mix, it is an indication that the drive shaft o-ring, seal or both should be replaced or properly lubricated.

Step 6

Thoroughly brush clean all disassembled parts in the cleaning solution making sure all lubricant and mix film is removed. Place all the cleaned parts on a clean, dry surface to air dry.

Step 7

Wipe clean all exterior surfaces of the freezer.

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

self-sharpening and help maintain fast efficient freezing.

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 o-rings or seals that are worn, torn or fit too loosely and replace with new ones.

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 anti-freeze.

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 moisture-proof paper. All parts should be thoroughly cleaned of dried mix or lubrication accumulations which attract mice and other vermin.

Your local Taylor Distributor can perform this service for you.
