Model 428To the Installer
Appliances that are permanently connected to
fixed wiring and for which leakage currents may
exceed 10 mA, particularly when disconnected or not
used for long periods, or during initial installation, shall
have protective devices such as a GFI, to protect
against the leakage of current, installed by the
authorized personnel to the local codes.
Supply cords used with this unit shall be
oil-resistant, sheathed flexible cable not lighter than
ordinary polychloroprene or other equivalent synthetic
elastomer-sheathed cord (Code designation 60245
IEC 57) installed with the proper cord anchorage to
relieve conductors from strain, including twisting, at
the terminals and protect the insulation of the
conductors from abrasion.
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.
Use only R134a refrigerant that conforms to
the AHI standard 700 specification. The use of any
other refrigerant may expose users and operators to
unexpected safety hazards.
Beater Rotation
Beater rotation must be clockwise as viewed
looking into the freezing cylinder.
Note: The following procedures should be
performed by a trained service technician.
To correct rotation on a single-phase unit, change
the leads inside the beater motor. (Follow the
diagram printed on motor.)
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.
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 refrigerantused 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.

Section 2To the Operator
The freezer you have purchased has been carefully
engineered and manufactured to give you
dependable operation. The Taylor Model 428, when
properly operated and cared for, will produce a
consistent quality product. Like all mechanical
products, they 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.
Warranty is valid only if the parts are authorized
Taylor parts, purchased from an authorized Taylor
Distributor, and the required service work is provided
by an authorized Taylor service technician. Taylor
reserves the right to deny warranty claims on
equipment or parts if non--approved parts or
refrigerant were installed in the machine, system
modifications were performed beyond factory
recommendations, or it is determined that the failure
was caused by neglect or abuse.

improvements; therefore, information in this
manual is subject to change without notice.
If the crossed out wheeled bin symbol is
affixed to this product, it signifies that this product is
compliant with the EU Directive as well as other
similar 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.
The user is responsible for returning the product to

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.

freezing cylinder. This will force out any remaining
sanitizing solution. When full strength mix is flowing
from the door spout, move the draw handle to the left.
Step 2
When mix has stopped bubbling down into the freezing
cylinder, install the air/mix feed tube (optional) in the
mix inlet hole with the hole side down.

it to flow into the freezing cylinder.
Step 3
While the solution is flowing into the freezing
cylinder, brush-clean the mix hopper, float switch,
and mix inlet hole.
Figure 45
Step 2
With a pail beneath the door spout, place the power
switch in the WASH position and move the draw
handle to the right. Drain all the rinse water from the
freezing cylinder. When the rinse water stops flowing
from the door spout, move the draw handle to the left
and place the power switch in the OFF position.
Repeat this procedure until the rinse water being
drawn from the freezing cylinder is clear.
Step 4
Place the power switch in the WASH position. This
will agitate the cleaning solution in the freezing
cylinder.
Step 5
Place an empty pail beneath the door spout and
move the draw handle to the right. Draw off all the
cleaning solution. When the solution stops flowing
from the door spout, move the draw handle to the
left, and place the power switch in the OFF position.

Disassembly
Step 3
From the freezer door, remove the draw valve, ice
buster, front bearing, and gasket. Remove the prime
plug (self--closing door, only). Remove all o-rings.
BE SURE THE POWER SWITCH IS IN
THE OFF POSITION. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in severe personal injury from
hazardous moving parts.
Step 1
Remove the torque arm, handscrews, freezer door,
torque rotor, beater assembly, scraper blades and
drive shaft from the freezing cylinder. Take these
parts to the sink for cleaning.
Step 2
Remove the front drip tray and the splash shield.
Take these parts to the sink for cleaning.
Step 3
Remove the rear drip pan from the front panel. Note:
If the drip pan is filled with an excessive amount of
mix, it is an indication the drive shaft seal should be
replaced or properly lubricated.
Brush Cleaning
Step 1
Prepare a sink of cleaning/sanitizing solution with an
active chlorine concentrate of 100 -- 200 PPM (parts
per million). USE WARM WATER AND FOLLOW
THE MANUFACTURER’S SPECIFICATIONS.
Make sure all brushes provided with the freezer are
available for brush cleaning.
Note: To remove the o-ring, use a single service towel
to grasp the o-ring, and apply pressure in an upward
direction until the o-ring pops out of its groove. With the
other hand, push the top of the o-ring forward until it
rolls out of the groove and can be removed easily.
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. Brush-clean the rear shell bearing at the back
of the freezing cylinder with the black bristle brush.
IMPORTANT: Follow the label directions. Too
STRONG of a solution can cause parts damage,
while too MILD of a solution will not provide
adequate cleaning.
Step 2
Remove the o-ring and seal from the drive shaft.
Remove the o-ring and the bearing from the torque
rotor.

Section 7Important: Operator Checklist
During Cleaning and Sanitizing:
ALWAYS FOLLOW LOCAL HEALTH CODES
Cleaning and sanitizing schedules are governed
by federal, state, or local regulatory agencies, and
must be followed accordingly. If the unit has a
“Standby mode”, it must not be used in lieu of
proper cleaning and sanitizing procedures and
frequencies set forth by the ruling health
authority. The following check points should be
stressed during the cleaning and sanitizing
operations.
CLEANING AND SANITIZING MUST BE
PERFORMED DAILY.
Troubleshooting Bacterial Count:
j 1. Thoroughlycleanand sanitizemachine
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.
j 3. Use the white bristle brush to clean the mix feed
tube, which extends from the 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. IF LOCAL HEALTH CODES PERMIT THE
USE OF RERUN, make sure the mix rerun is
stored in a sanitized, covered stainless steel
container and used the following day. DO NOT
prime the machine with rerun. When using
rerun, skim off the foam and discard, then mix
the rerun with fresh mix in a ratio of 50/50 during
the day’s operation.
j 6. On a designated day of the week, run the mix as
low as feasible and discard after closing. This
will break the rerun cycle and reduce the
possibility of high bacteria and coliform counts.
j 7. 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 8. Temperature of mix in mix hopper and walk-in
cooler should be below 40_F. ( 4 .4_C.).
Regular Maintenance Checks:
j 1. Replace scraper blades that are nicked,
damaged or worn down. Before installing the
beater, be certain the scraper blade is properly
attached.
j 2. Check rear shell bearing for signs of wear
(excessive mix leakage in drip pan) and be
certain it is properly cleaned.
j 3. Using a screwdriver and cloth towel, keep the
rear shell bearing and the female square drive
socket clean and free of lubricant and mix
deposits.
j 4. Dispose of o-rings and seals if they are worn,
torn, or fit too loosely, and replace with new
ones.
j 5. Follow all lubricating procedures as outlined in
“Assembly”.
j 6. 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.

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 to be left unheated and subject to freezing
conditions. Disconnect the freezer from the main
power source to prevent possible electrical damage.
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 with moisture-proof
paper. All parts should be thoroughly cleaned of
dried mix or lubrication accumulations which attract
mice and other vermin.
