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.

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.
