Section 2
To the Operator
The freezer you have purchased has been carefully engineered and manufactured
to provide dependable operation. The Taylor Slush Models 340, 341, and 342,
when properly operated and cared for, will produce a consistent quality
product. Like all mechanical products, these machines will require cleaning
and maintenance. A minimum amount of care and attention is necessary if the
operating procedures outlined in this manual are followed closely.
This Operator’s Manual should be read before operating or performing any
maintenance on your machine.
Your Taylor freezer will NOT eventually compensate and correct for any errors
during the set-up or filling operations. Thus, the initial assembly and
priming procedures are of extreme importance. It is strongly recommended that
personnel responsible for the machine’s operation study these procedures
together in order to be properly trained and to make sure that no
misunderstandings exist.
In the event you should require technical assistance, please contact your
local authorized Taylor distributor.
Note: Your Taylor warranty is valid only if the parts are authorized Taylor
parts, purchased from the local authorized Taylor distributor, and only if all
required service work is provided by an authorized Taylor service technician.
Taylor reserves the right to deny warranty claims on machines or parts if non-
Taylor approved parts or incorrect refrigerant were installed in the machine,
system modifications were performed beyond factory recommendations, or it is
determined that the failure was caused by abuse, misuse, neglect, or failure
to follow all operating instructions. For full details of your Taylor
Warranty, please see the Limited Warranty section in this manual.
Note: Constant research results in steady improvements; therefore, information
in this manual is subject to change without notice.
IMPORTANT! If the crossed-out wheeled-bin
symbol is affixed to this machine, it signifies that this
machine is compliant with the EU Directives as well as
other similar end-of-life legislation in effect after August
13, 2005. Therefore, it must be collected separately after
its use is completed and cannot be disposed as unsorted
municipal waste.
2
The user is responsible for delivering the machine to the appropriate collection facility, as specified by your local code.
For additional information regarding applicable local disposal laws, please contact the municipal waste facility and/or local authorized Taylor distributor.
Compressor Warranty Disclaimer
The refrigeration compressor(s) on this machine are warranted for the term
stated in the Limited Warranty section in this manual. 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 Taylor compressor
warranty. It is the machine owner’s responsibility to make this fact known to
any technician he employs.
To the Operator
Model 340, 341, 342
2-1
TO THE OPERATOR
It should also be noted that Taylor does not warrant the refrigerant used in
its machine. 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 non-billable 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.
Taylor will continue to monitor the industry and test new
2 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 machine in question.

Symbol Definitions
To better communicate in the international arena, the words on many of our
operator switches and buttons have symbols to indicate their functions. Your
Taylor machine is designed with these international symbols.
The following chart identifies the symbol definitions used on the operator
switches.
= ON/AUTO
= AUTO
= WASH
Control Switch
The center position is OFF. The left position is WASH, which activates only
the beater motor. The right position is AUTO, which activates the beater motor
and the refrigeration system.
Consistency Control
The viscosity (thickness) of the slush is controlled by a sensing device
called the consistency control. The consistency control knob is located under
the control channel. To achieve a thicker slush, turn the knob clockwise. To
achieve a thinner slush consistency, turn the knob counterclockwise.
Allow the refrigeration system to cycle on and off two or three times before
evaluating the consistency.
Indicator Light – ADD MIX
A mix level indicating light is located on the front of the
5 machine. When the light is on, it indicates that the mix
hopper has a low supply of mix and should be refilled as soon as possible. If
mix is not added, a freeze-up may occur, causing eventual damage to the
beater, blades, drive shaft, and freezer door.
For Your Information
The Models 340 and 341 come equipped with an optional rack assembly and four
syrup jars. Each syrup jar holds 16 oz. (453.6 g) of syrup. One pump stroke
will dispense 1/4 oz. (7 g) of syrup.
Because of the many different types of syrups on the market today, the syrup-
to-slush ratio will vary. Consult the label or manufacturer for the proper
amount of syrup for the desired drink size.
To serve slush product, simply add the flavor and open the draw valve. The
slush product should blend with the syrup with no stirring necessary. If it
does not, the product is too thick and the consistency control should be
adjusted to a thinner consistency.

Operating Procedures
Model 341 has been selected to illustrate the pictured step-by-step operating
procedures for the models contained in this manual. Each machine has a 20 qt.
(18.9 L) mix hopper and the freezing cylinder holds 7 qt. (6.6 L) of slush
product. Model 342 has two mix hoppers and two freezing cylinders; therefore,
duplicate (where it applies) the following steps for the second side of Model
342.
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 brush cleaning.
These opening procedures will illustrate how to assemble these parts into the
freezer, sanitize them, and prime the freezer with slush base in preparation
to serve the first portion.
If you are disassembling the machine for the first time, or need information
to get to this starting point in our instructions, see page 6-9 “Disassembly”
and start there.

Operator’s Checklist
During Cleaning and Sanitizing
! ALWAYS FOLLOW LOCAL HEALTH CODES.
! NOTICE! Cleaning and sanitizing schedules are governed by your federal,
state, or local regulatory agencies and must be followed accordingly. Please
refer to the cleaning section of this manual for the proper procedure to clean
this machine.
Troubleshooting Bacterial Count
Thoroughly clean and sanitize the machine regularly, including complete
disassembly and brush cleaning.
Use all brushes supplied for thorough cleaning. The brushes are specially
designed to reach all mix passageways.
Use the bristle brush to clean the mix inlet hole which extends from the mix
hopper down to the rear of the freezing cylinder.
Use the black bristle brush to thoroughly clean the rear shell bearing located
at the rear of the freezing cylinder. Make sure to have a generous amount of
cleaning solution on the brush.
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.
Using a screwdriver and cloth towel, keep the female square drive socket and
rear shell bearing clean and free of lubricant and mix deposits.
If local health codes permit the use of rerun, make sure the mix rerun is
stored in a sanitized, covered, NSF approved stainless steel container and is
used the following day. Do not prime the machine with rerun. When using rerun,
skim the foam and discard. Mix the rerun with fresh mix in a ratio of 50/50
during the day’s operation.
Regular Maintenance Checks
DANGER! The main power supply(s) to the machine must be disconnected prior to performing any installation, maintenance, or repairs. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury or death from electrical shock or hazardous moving parts, as well as poor performance or damage to the machine.
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.
Replace scraper blades that are nicked or damaged.
Before installing the beater, make sure that the
scraper blades are properly attached over the
beater pins.
7
Dispose of O-rings or seals if they are worn, torn, or fit too loosely, and replace them with new ones.
Follow all lubricating procedures as outlined in “Assembly” on page 6-1.
Check the rear shell bearing for signs of wear (excessive mix leakage in rear drip pan) and make sure it is properly cleaned.
Check the condenser(s) 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.

Note: For machines equipped with an air filter, it will be necessary to vacuum
clean the filters on a monthly schedule. On water-cooled machines, 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 service technician.
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.
Important! 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. 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 beater, blades, drive shaft, and
freezer door, and place in a protected dry place. Rubber trim parts and
gaskets can be protected by wrapping them with moisture-proof
7 paper. All parts should be thoroughly cleaned of dried mix or lubrication
which attract mice and other vermin.
