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
refrigerantsarebeingadvertisedasdrop-in
replacements for numerous applications. It should be
noted that, in the event of ordinary service to this
machine’s refrigeration system, only the refrigerantspecified 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.

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 and counterclockwise to achieve a
thinner slush consistency.
Allow the refrigeration system to cycle on and cycle off
two or three times before an accurate consistency can
Figure 1
be evaluated.

Description
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
equipment is designed with these International
symbols.
The following chart identifies the symbol definitions
used on the operator switches.
=ON/AUTO
=OFF
= WASH
Indicator Light - “Add Mix”
A mix level indicating light is located on the front of the
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 ounces (453.6 grams) of syrup. One pump
stroke will dispense 1/4 ounce (7 grams) 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.

Section 6Operating Procedures
The Model 341 has been selected to illustrate the
pictured step-by-step operating procedures for the
models contained in this manual. Each unit has a 20
quart (18.9 liter) mix hopper and the freezing cylinder
holds 7 quarts (6.6 liters) of slush product. The Model
342 has two mix hoppers and two freezing cylinders;
therefore, duplicate (where it applies) the following
steps for the second side of the 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, turn to page 19, “Disassembly” and start
there.
Insert the drive shaft into the freezing cylinder, (square
end first) and into the rear shell bearing, until the seal
fits securely over the rear shell bearing. Be certain the
drive shaft fits into the drive coupling without binding.

from the draw valve. Remove the o-ring and guide
bearing from the torque rotor.
Step 4
Thoroughly brush clean all disassembled parts in the
cleaning solution, making sure all lubricant and mix film
is removed. Place all the cleaned parts on a clean dry
surfacetoairdry.
Step 5
Return to the freezer with a small amount of cleaning
solution. With the black bristle brush, brush clean the
rear shell bearing(s) at the back of the freezing
cylinder(s).
Brush Cleaning
Step 1
Prepare a sink with an approved cleaning solution (Examples: Stera--SheenR or Kay-5R). USE WARM
WATER AND FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURER’S
SPECIFICATIONS.
If an approved cleaner other than Stera--SheenR or
Kay-5R is used, dilute according to label instructions.
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
freezer are available for brush cleaning.
Step 2
Remove the o-ring and seal from the drive shaft.
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

Step 6
Remove the rear drip pan.
Note: If the drip pan is filled with an excessive amount
of mix, it is an indication that the drive shaft o-ring, seal
or both should be replaced or properly lubricated.
Step 7
Wipe clean all exterior surfaces of the freezer.

During Cleaning and Sanitizing
ALWAYS FOLLOW LOCAL HEALTH CODES.
Cleaning and sanitizing schedules are governed by
your State or local regulatory agencies and must be
followed accordingly. The following check points
should be stressed during the cleaning and sanitizing
operations.
WERECOMMENDDAILYCLEANINGAND
SANITIZING.

j 1. Thoroughly clean and sanitize the machine
regularly, including complete disassembly and
brush cleaning.
j 2. Use all brushes supplied for thorough cleaning.
The brushes are specially designed to reach all
mix passageways.
in a sanitized, covered stainless steel container
and used the following day.
Regular Maintenance Checks
j 1. 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.
j 2. Replace scraper blades that are nicked or
damaged.
j 3. Before installing the beater, be certain that the
scraper blades are properly attached over the
beater pins.
j 4. Dispose of o-rings and seals if they are worn,
torn, or fit too loosely, and replace them with
new ones.
j 5. Follow all lubricating procedures as outlined in
“Assembly”.
j 6. Check the rear shell bearing for signs of wear
(excessive mix leakage in rear drip pan) and be
certain it is properly cleaned.
j 3. Use the white bristle brush to clean the mix inlet
hole which extends from the mix hopper down
to the rear of the freezing cylinder.
j 4. 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. 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.
j 6. Using a screwdriver and cloth towel, keep the
female square drive socket and rear shell
bearing clean and free of lubricant and mix
deposits.
j 7. IF LOCAL HEALTH CODES PERMIT THE
USE OF RERUN, make sure the rerun is stored
051214
j 7. 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.
Caution:Alwaysdisconnect
electrical power prior to cleaning the
condenser. Failure to follow this instruction
may result in electrocution.
j 8. On water cooled units, check the water lines for
kinks or leaks. Kinks can occur when the
machine is moved back and forth for cleaning or
maintenancepurposes.Deterioratedor
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, and then add a
liberal amount of permanent type auto anti-freeze.
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 beater ,
blades, drive shaft, and freezer door, and place in a
protected dry place. Rubber trim parts and gaskets
canbeprotectedbywrappingthemwith
moisture-proof paper. All parts should be thoroughly
cleaned of dried mix or lubrication which attract mice
and other vermin.
