NOTES AND FUNCTIONS OF YOUR MACHINE

The machine you have purchased is a non carbonated frozen beverage

machine. It is capable of producing a variety of frozen beverage
products. All Spaceman USA Frozen Beverage machines are capable to
freeze alcoholic beverages.

Product is poured into the hopper (product should be below 41°F)
where it is kept until flowing into the freezing cylinder via the air tube.

On the front of the machine is an analog rocker switch that controls

the function of the machine (off, wash, and cooling). Your machine
may also include a lighted standby button and low mix light.

Inside the freezing cylinder, the beater mixes the product while freezing

to produce the final frozen beverage product.

Most Spaceman beverage machines (except for 6450 and 6650) include

refrigerated hoppers and a standby mode.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS

Clean and Lubricate Daily

Replace Wearable Parts Every

1 to 3 months*

Internal Cleaning Quarterly**

* Based on machine usage and cleaning
intervals; a Tune-Up Kit is available with
all wearable parts (O-rings, gaskets, etc.)
except scraper blades

** Based on cleanliness of location
and proximity to powder-based
machines

For optimal machine performance and

many years of efficiency and reliability

from your machine, Spaceman USA

recommends cleaning and sanitizing the

machine and its parts daily. The machine

comes equipped with a brush kit

specifically designed to efficiently and

properly clean the machine.

Tune-Up Kit

Spaceman USA Frozen Beverage Training

rev042219

IMPORTANT:

Cleaning and sanitizing

schedules are governed by state

or local regulatory agencies and

MUST be followed accordingly.

Routine maintenance MUST be

performed a minimum of once

every 3 days.

CAUTIONS:

Do NOT run the machine without properly lubricating

required parts.

Do NOT clean the machine with abrasive or toxic chemicals

and cleaners. Doing so may cause damage to the stainless
steel material.

ONLY use Spaceman-USA-included cleaning brushes and lubrication.

NEVER use metal objects to clean or operate the machine.

ALWAYS replace wearable parts a minimum of every 3 months.

ALWAYS prime machine prior to operating.

ALWAYS inspect parts for excess wear and damage.

SANITIZATION

IMPORTANT CAUTION

After sanitizing the machine, DO NOT

rinse or touch areas that have been

sanitized. Product must be added

immediately. If new product will not be

added immediately, rinse machine with

clean water and loosen door hand-

screws to allow cylinder to air-dry.

Sanitize machine before using again.

Always use food-grade, no-

rinse sanitizer (Stera-Sheen

green label or equivalent) to

sanitize. If warm water is

required to dissolve sanitizer,

allow the solution time to

cool before adding to

machine.

FROZEN PRODUCT OPERATION

FREEZE PRODUCT

Verify cylinder is full of mixed product

Turn power switch to FREEZE and verify

STANDBY mode is off (see below)

The motor will begin to agitate the product,

and the cooling system will begin to freeze
the product

Freezing product takes approximately 10 minutes;
product is at the adjusted viscosity when the flat
sensor arm is switched to the RIGHT

When the product reaches the desired

viscosity, it is ready to dispense

IMPORTANT

Machine shuts down automatically if cylinder experiences
freeze-up (usually because the viscosity is set too high for the

selected product to prevent motor damage.

Use the green reset button on the machine’s back panel to return

the machine to normal operation.

PROPER MACHINE RESET

1. Turn power switch to OFF

2. Firmly press green reset button

3. Wait 15 to 20 minutes.

4. Turn power switch to WASH

5. Observe machine performance

CAUTION:

If machine makes any abnormal noise during reset,
immediately turn power switch OFF and contact service team.

NOTE:

If machine doesn’t turn on, turn power switch OFF, wait 30

minutes, and repeat steps 1 to 4. If problem persists, contact
service team.

IMPORTANT

• When the machine will NOT be utilized for several hours, place it in STANDBY mode to conserve electricity and

reduce product loss.

• In STANDBY, product remains below 41oF in both the cylinder and hopper, but will NOT be frozen.

STANDBY MODE

To enter STANDBY mode:
(Light may be amber in color)

To exit STANDBY mode:

• Press STANDBY indicator light on front of

machine, and green light will de-illuminate.

• Allow 5 to 10 minutes for machine to begin

freezing again.

• Press STANDBY indicator light on front

of machine. Light may be amber color.

• Light illuminates green when machine

is in STANDBY mode.

FROZEN PRODUCT OPERATION

ADJUST PRODUCT CONSISTENCY

WARNING

STOP turning viscosity adjustment screw if you feel
any increase in resistance to prevent damage.

Increase viscosity (more firm):

• Turn viscosity adjustment screw clockwise.

• Turn a maximum of two full turns per adjustment.

Decrease viscosity (less firm)

• Turn viscosity adjustment screw counter-

clockwise.

• Turn a maximum of two full turns per adjustment.

The viscosity adjustment screw, located above the
draw handle, controls the firmness of dispensed
product. The higher the viscosity, the more firm

the product. Viscosity settings should NOT need

continuous adjustment.
To adjust product consistency, use a #2 Phillips-

head screwdriver to turn the viscosity adjustment
screw. Make small adjustments each time, and
allow at least 10 to 15 minutes between
adjustments to evaluate product firmness.

FROZEN PRODUCT OPERATION

MANAGE SENSOR ARMS

Located directly above the draw valve, this arm tells the machine when product is being dispensed and
how firm the product is. Beater and cooling systems are turned on and off based on information from
the sensor arms.

Flat arm moves left and right and
tells machine when product is at
desired consistency.

Switched RIGHT means
consistency is correct. Switched

LEFT or IN THE MIDDLE means

consistency is not yet correct.

Curved arm moves up and down
and tells machine when product is
being dispensed.

It moves UP when draw handle is in
the OPEN position.
