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.

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
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.

OPERATOR’S CHECKLIST
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.
