FROM ELECTRICAL SHOCK!

This unit is provided with an equipotential grounding lug that is to be properly attached to the rear of the frame by the authorized installer. The installation location is marked by the equipotential bonding symbol (5021 of IEC 60417-1) on both the removable panel and the equipments frame.

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

SAppliances that are permanently connected to fixed wiring and for which leakage currents may exceed 10 mA, particularly when disconnected or not used for long periods, or during initial installation, shall have protective devices such as a GFI, to protect against the leakage of current, installed by the authorized personnel to the local codes.

SSupply cords used with this unit shall be oil-resistant, sheathed flexible cable not lighter than ordinary polychloroprene or other equivalent synthetic elastomer-sheathed cord (Code designation 60245 IEC 57) installed with the proper cord anchorage to relieve conductors from strain, including twisting, at the terminals and protect the insulation of the conductors from abrasion.

Electrical Hook-Up Installation

(60 Cycle, 1 Ph, Supplied With Cord and Plug)

This freezer is supplied with a 3--wire cord and grounding type plug for connection to a single phase, 60 cycle, branch circuit supply. This unit must be plugged into a properly grounded receptacle. The cord and plug provided for 208/230/60/1, is 20A; therefore the wall outlet must also be 20A. Check the data label, located on the side panel, for electrical specifications.

Permanent wiring may be employed if required by local codes. Instructions for conversion to permanent wiring are as follows:

1.Be sure the freezer is electrically disconnected.

2.Remove the appropriate panel and locate the small electrical box at the base of the freezer.

3.Remove the factory--installed cord and strain relief bushing.

4.Route incoming permanent wiring through 7/8??? (22 mm) hole in base pan.

5.Connect two power supply leads. Attach ground (earth) wire to the grounding lug inside the electrical box.

6.Be sure the unit is properly grounded before applying power.

Beater Rotation

Beater rotation must be clockwise as viewed looking into the freezing cylinder.

Note: The following procedures should be performed by a trained service technician.

To correct rotation on a three--phase unit, interchange any two incoming power supply lines at freezer main terminal block only. To correct rotation on a single--phase unit, change the leads inside the beater motor. (Follow diagram printed on motor.)

Electrical connections are made directly to the terminal block provided in the splice boxes which are mounted mid--level on the frame channel on the sides of the freezer.

Refrigerant

In consideration of our environment, Taylor proudly uses only earth friendly HFC refrigerants. The HFC refrigerant used in this unit is R404A. This refrigerant is generally considered non-toxic and non-flammable, with an Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP) of zero (0).

However, any gas under pressure is potentially hazardous and must be handled with caution.

NEVER fill any refrigerant cylinder completely with liquid. Filling the cylinder to approximately 80% will allow for normal expansion.

Use only R134a refrigerant that conforms to the AHI standard 700 specification. The use of any other refrigerant may expose users and operators to unexpected safety hazards.

Refrigerant liquid sprayed onto the skin may

cause serious damage to tissue. Keep eyes and skin protected. If refrigerant burns should occur, flush immediately with cold water. If burns are severe, apply ice packs and contact a physician immediately.

Taylor reminds technicians to be cautious of government laws regarding refrigerant recovery, recycling, and reclaiming systems. If you have any questions regarding these laws, please contact the factory Service Department.

WARNING: R404A refrigerant used in conjunction with polyolester oils is extremely moisture absorbent. When opening a refrigeration system, the maximum time the system is open must not exceed 15 minutes. Cap all open tubing to prevent humid air or water from being absorbed by the oil.

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.

We, at Taylor Company, are concerned about the safety of the operator when he or she comes in contact with the freezer and its parts. Taylor has gone to extreme efforts to design and manufacture built--in safety features to protect both you and the service technician. As an example, warning labels have been attached to the freezer to further point out safety precautions to the operator.

IMPORTANT -- Failure to adhere to the following safety precautions may result in severe personal injury. Failure to comply with these warnings may damage the machine and its components. Component damage will result in part replacement expense and service repair expense.

Symbol Definitions

To better communicate in the International arena, the words on many of our operator switches and keys have symbols to indicate their functions. Your Taylor equipment is designed with these International symbols.

The following chart identifies the symbol definitions used on the operator switches.

= OFF

= ON

= MIX

= STANDBY

= WASH

= AUTO

= MIX LOW

Power Switch

When placed in the ON position, the power switch allows Softecht control panel operation.

MIX REF

When the MIX REF key is pressed, the light comes on indicating the mix hopper refrigeration system is operating. MIX REF is controlled by the left side of the freezer as viewed from the operator end. The MIX REF function cannot be cancelled unless the AUTO or STANDBY modes are cancelled first.

STANDBY Key

The Separate Hopper Refrigeration System (SHR) and the Cylinder Temperature Retention System (CTR) are standard features on Softecht machines. The SHR incorporates the use of a separate small refrigeration system. This maintains the mix in the hopper below 40_(4.4_C) to assure bacteria control. The CTR works with the SHR to maintain a good quality product. During long ???No Sale??? periods, it is necessary to warm the product in the freezing cylinder to approximately 35_F to 40_F (1.7_C to 4.4_C) to prevent over--beating and product breakdown.

To activate the SHR and CTR, press the STANDBY key. Place the end of the feed tube without the hole into the mix inlet hole.

When the STANDBY key is pressed, the light comes on, indicating the CTR (Cylinder Temperature Retention System) has been activated. In the STANDBY mode, the WASH and AUTO functions are automatically cancelled. The MIX REF function is automatically locked in to maintain the mix in the hopper.

To resume normal operation, press the AUTO key. When the unit cycles off, the product in the freezing cylinder will be at serving viscosity. At this time, place the orifice end of the feed tube into the mix inlet hole. Install the air orifice.

WASH Key

When the WASH key is pressed, the light comes on. This indicates beater motor operation. The STANDBY or AUTO modes must be cancelled first to activate the WASH mode.

AUTO Key

When the AUTO key is pressed, the light comes on. This indicates that the main refrigeration system has been activated. In the AUTO mode, the WASH or STANDBY functions are automatically cancelled. The MIX REF function is automatically locked in to maintain the temperature of the mix in the mix hopper.

Note: An indicating light and an audible tone will sound whenever a mode of operation has been pressed. To cancel any function, press the key again. The light and mode of operation will shut off.

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 mix and should be refilled as soon as possible. Always maintain at least 3??? (76 mm) of mix in the hopper. If you neglect to add mix, a freeze--up may occur. This will cause eventual damage to the beater, blades, drive shaft, and freezer door.

Reset Button

The reset button is located on the front of the unit. The reset protects the beater motor from an overload condition. If an overload occurs, the reset mechanism will trip. To properly reset the freezer, press the AUTO key to cancel the cycle. Turn the power switch to the OFF position. Press the reset button firmly.

Warning: Do not use metal objects to press the reset button. Failure to comply may result in severe personal injury or death.

Turn the power switch to the ON position. Press the WASH key and observe the freezer???s performance. Open the side access panel. Make sure the beater motor is turning the drive shaft in a clockwise direction (from the operator end) without binding.

If the beater motor is turning properly, press the WASH key to cancel the cycle. Press the AUTO key on both sides of the unit to resume normal operation. If the freezer shuts down again, contact a service technician.

Feed Tube

The feed tube serves two purposes. One end of the tube has an orifice (hole) and the other end does not.

Figure 5

1.After priming the machine, place the orifice end of the feed tube into the mix inlet hole. Every time the draw handle is raised, new mix and air from the hopper will flow down into the freezing cylinder. This will keep the freezing cylinder properly loaded and will maintain overrun.

2.During long ???No Sale??? periods, remove the feed tube. Place the end of the feed tube without the orifice into the mix inlet hole. This will prevent any mix from entering the freezing cylinder.

The feed tube maintains overrun and allows enough mix to enter the freezing cylinder after a draw.

The Model 161 is a soft serve counter model with a three spout door. Two individual flavors are available from the end spouts, and an equal combination of both is dispensed through the center spout to create a twist effect. It has a 1.5 quart (1.4 liter) capacity freezing cylinder. The mix flows by gravity from the hopper to the freezing cylinder through a feed tube.

Duplicate the procedures where they apply for the second freezing cylinder.

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

These opening procedures will show you how to assemble these parts into the machine, sanitize them, and prime the machine with fresh mix in preparation to serve your first portion.

Figure 6

If you are disassembling the machine for the first time or need information to get to the starting point in our instructions, turn to page 19, ???Disassembly???, and start there.

Assembly

Note: When lubricating parts, use an approved food

grade lubricant (example: Taylor Lube).

Step 1

Lubricate the groove on the beater drive shaft. With the opening of the cup seal facing away from the hex end, slide the seal into the groove. Apply an even coat of lubricant to the seal and the shaft. Do not lubricate the hex end of the beater drive shaft.

Remove the handscrews and the freezer door. Remove the beater assemblies from the freezing cylinders and take these parts to the sink for cleaning.

Step 2

Remove the front drip tray, the splash shield, and the drip pans from the machine. Take them to the sink for cleaning.

Brush Cleaning

Step 1

Prepare a sink with an approved cleaning solution (examples: Kay--5R or Stera--SheenR). USE WARM

WATER AND FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURER???S

SPECIFICATIONS.

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 machine are available for brush cleaning.

Step 2

Remove the cup seals from the drive shafts of the beater assemblies.

Step 3

From the freezer door, remove design caps, pivot pins, draw handles, and draw valves. Remove all o--rings.

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 4

Remove the large o--rings, front bearings, and guide bearings from the back of the freezer door.

Step 5

Return to the machine with a small amount of cleaning solution. With the black bristle brush, brush clean the rear shell bearings at the back of the freezing cylinders.

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

Step 6

Thoroughly brush clean all disassembled parts in the cleaning solution. Make sure all lubricant and mix film is removed. Take particular care to brush clean the draw valve cores in the freezer door. Place all the cleaned parts on a clean, dry surface to air dry overnight.

Step 7

Wipe clean all exterior surfaces of the machine.

Section 7 Important: Operator Checklist

During Cleaning and Sanitizing

ALWAYS FOLLOW LOCAL HEALTH CODES.

Cleaning and sanitizing schedules are governed by federal, state, or local regulatory agencies, and must be followed accordingly. If the unit has a ???Standby mode???, it must not be used in lieu of proper cleaning and sanitizing procedures and frequencies set forth by the ruling health authority. The following check points should be stressed during the cleaning and sanitizing operations.

CLEANING AND SANITIZING MUST BE

PERFORMED DAILY.

Troubleshooting Bacterial Count

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 smaller, 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 located at the rear of the

freezing cylinder. Be sure to have a generous amount of cleaning solution on the brush.

j 5. IF LOCAL HEALTH CODES PERMIT THE USE OF RERUN, make sure the mix rerun is stored in a sanitized, covered stainless steel container and is used the following day. DO NOT prime the machine with rerun. When using rerun, skim off the foam and discard. Mix the rerun with fresh mix in a ratio of 50/50 during the day???s operation.

j6. On a designated day of the week, run the mix as low as feasible and discard after closing. This

will break the rerun cycle and reduce the possibility of high bacteria and coliform counts.

j7. 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.

j8. The temperature of the mix in the mix hopper and walk--in cooler should be below 40_F.

(4.4_C.).

Regular Maintenance Checks

j1. Check the rear shell bearing for signs of wear (excessive mix leakage in rear drip pan) and be certain it is properly cleaned.

j2. Using a screwdriver and cloth towel, keep the rear shell bearing and the female hex drive

socket clean and free of lubricant and mix deposits.

j3. Dispose of o--rings or seals if they are worn, torn, or fit too loosely, and replace with new ones.

j4. Follow all lubricating procedures as outlined in ???Assembly???.

j 5. If your machine is air cooled, check the condenser for an accumulation of dirt and lint. A dirty condenser 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.

Note: For machines equipped with an air filter, it will be necessary to vacuum clean the filters on a monthly schedule.

CAUTION: Always disconnect elec- trical power prior to cleaning the condens- er. Failure to follow this instruction may result in electrocution.

j6. If your machine is equipped with an auxiliary refrigeration system, check the auxiliary condenser for accumulation of dirt and lint. A dirty condenser will reduce the refrigeration

capacity of the mix hopper. Condensers must be cleaned monthly with a soft brush. Never use screwdrivers or other metal probes to clean between the fins. Failure to comply may result in electrocution.

j7. 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 clean- ing 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 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 the spring in the water valve. Use air pressure on the outlet side to blow out any water remaining in the condenser. This is extremely important. Failure to follow this procedure may cause severe and costly damage to the refrigeration system.

Your local Taylor distributor can perform this service for you.

Wrap detachable parts of the freezer such as the beater assembly and freezer door, and place them in a protected dry place. Rubber trim parts and gaskets can be protected by wrapping them with moisture--proof paper. All parts should be thoroughly cleaned of dried mix or lubrication accumulations which attract mice and other vermin.
