Air Cooled Units
DO NOT obstruct air intake and discharge
openings:
Air cooled units require a minimum of 3” (76 mm) of
clearance on both sides of the freezer. It is
recommended to place the rear of the unit against
the wall to prevent the recirculation of warm air.
Minimum air clearances must be met to assure
adequate air flow for optimum performance. Failure
to allow adequate clearance can reduce the
refrigeration capacity of the freezer and possibly
cause permanent damage to the compressor.

Beater Rotation
Beater rotation must be clockwise as viewed
looking into the freezing cylinder.
Note: The following procedures must be performed
by an authorized Taylor service technician.
To correct the 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 the
diagram printed on the motor.)
Electrical connections are made directly to the
terminal block provided in the main control box.
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.
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.
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.

Continuous Fill Unit Equipped With
Post Mix Valve
Step 1
Connect the syrup and water lines to the 1/4” barbed
fittings on the Post Mix Fill Module located at the
rear of the machine. From the front of the machine,
the syrup connects on the right and the water
connects on the left.
Note: Adjust the syrup supply pressure to maintain
60 - 80 PSIG. The minimum water pressure is 50
PSIG. The maximum water pressure is 110 PSIG. A
regulated water supply may be required.
Step 2
Turn the Fill switch to the ON position. The Fill
switch is located on the front of the unit, on the
upper left side.
Note: Priming of the fill system is required until the
B.I.B. (Bag in Box) Syrup-Out and Water-Out
switches are satisfied (Syrup-Out and Water-Out
lights extinguish) and syrup and water are flowing
out of the dispensing head nozzle.
Step 3
To adjust the syrup or water flow rate, turn the flow
adjustment screw. A clockwise turn increases the
flow and a counter-clockwise turn decreases the
flow. Adjust the screw until the desired brix is
obtained. The total flow rate should be 3 - 4 fl. oz.
(89 - 118 ml.) per second.
Note: The syrup and the water flow adjustment
screws are located inside the post mix valve cover.
Viewed from the front, the syrup adjustment screw is
on the right and the water adjustment is on the left.
Turn the syrup shut-off valve off. As a starting point,
adjust the water to 2-1/2 to 3-1/4 fl. oz. (74 to 126
ml.) per second. Once the desired water flow rate is
achieved, turn the syrup shut-off valve back on. The
syrup flow rate can then be adjusted to the desired
product brix.
Individual shut-off valves for syrup and water are
located on the mounting block for the dispensing
head.

Section 2To the Operator
The freezer you have purchased has been carefully
engineered and manufactured to give you
dependable operation. The Taylor Model 328, when
properly operated and cared for, will produce a
consistent quality product. Like all mechanical
products, it 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
equipment.
Your Taylor freezer will NOT eventually compensate
for and correct 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
equipment's operation, both assembly and
disassembly, sit down together and go through
these procedures 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: Warranty is valid only if thepartsareauthorized

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.
Taylor 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.
