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.
The Taylor Company 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.

When the MIX REF key is pressed, the light comes on
indicating the mix hopper refrigeration system is
operating. For the Model 8754 the MIX REF is
controlled by the left side of the freezer as viewed from
the operator end. The MIX REF function cannot be
cancelled unless the AUTO or STANDBY modes are
cancelled first.
STANDBY Key
The Separate Hopper Refrigeration System (SHR)
and the Cylinder Temperature Retention System
(CTR) are standard features. The SHR incorporates
the use of a separate small refrigeration system to
maintain the mix in the hopper below 40_(4.4_C) to
assure bacteria control. The CTR works with the SHR
to maintain a good quality product. During long “No
Sale” periods, it is necessary to warm the product in
the freezing cylinder to approximately 35_Fto40_F
(1.7_Cto4.4_C) to prevent overbeating and product
breakdown.
Power Switch
When placed in the ON position, the power switch
allows SOFTECH control panel operation.
Indicator Lights
Located on the front of the machine is a mix level
indicating light. When the light begins to flash, it
indicates that the mix hopper has a low supply of mix
and should be refilled as soon as possible. Always
maintain at least 3” (76 mm) of mix in the hopper. If you
neglect to add mix, a freeze-up may occur. This will
cause eventual damage to the beater, blades, drive
shaft, and freezer door.
To activate the SHR and CTR, press the STANDBY
key. Remove the air orifice and place the air tube (endwithout the hole) into the mix inlet hole.
When the STANDBY key is pressed, the light comes
on, indicating the CTR (Cylinder Temperature
Retention System) has been activated. In the
STANDBY mode, the WASH and AUTO functions are
automatically cancelled. The MIX REF function is
automatically locked in to maintain the mix in the
hopper.
To resume normal operation, press the AUTO key.
When the unit cycles off, the product in the freezing
cylinder will be at serving viscosity. At this time, place
the air tube (end with the hole) into the mix inlet hole
and install the air orifice.

Models 8751/8754Important: To the Operator
Feed Tube (Back--up Option)
If the air/mix pump has become inoperable because of
a missing or damaged part, the operator can
temporarily operate the unit using the feed tube. The
product ejection rate will be slower when the feed tube
is used instead of the air/mix pump.

The feed tube serves two purposes. One end of the
tube has a hole and the other end does not.
1.Normal Operation
During normal operation, the end of the feed tube
with the hole is placed into the mix inlet hole.
Every time the draw handle is raised, new mix and
air from the hopper flow into the freezing cylinder.
This keeps the freezing cylinder properly loaded
and maintains overrun.
2.Long “No Sale” Periods
During long “No Sale” periods, the unit can be
placed into the Standby mode. This maintains
product temperatures below 40_F(4.4_C) in both
the hopper and the freezing cylinder, and helps
prevent overbeating and product breakdown.
To place the unit into the Standby mode, press the
STANDBY key. Remove the air orifice. Lubricate
the o--rings located on the end of the feed tube
without the hole. Place that end of the tube into
the mix inlet hole.This will prevent any mix from
entering the freezing cylinder.
Note: The air orifice is used to meter a certain
amount of air into the freezing cylinder. The air
orifice maintains overrun and allows enough mix
to enter the freezing cylinder after a draw.

Models 8751/8754Operating Procedures
Section 7Important: Operator Checklist
During Cleaning and Sanitizing
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.
ALWAYS FOLLOW LOCAL HEALTH CODES.
T roubleshooting Bacterial Count
j 1. Thoroughlyclean andsanitizemachine
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 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. 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 NOTprime the machine with rerun. When using
rerun, skim off the foam and discard. Mix the
rerun with fresh mix in a ratio of 50/50 during the
days operation.
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. The temperature of the mix in the 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 or
damaged.Beforeinstallingthebeater
assembly, be certain that scraper blades are
properly attached to the helix.
j 2. 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. Using a screwdriver and cloth towel, keep the
rear shell bearing and the female hex 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. If your machine is air cooled, check the
condensers 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.
j 6. On a designated day of the week, run the mix as
low as feasible and discard it after closing. This
will break the rerun cycle and reduce the
possibility of high bacteria and coliform counts.

j 7. If your machine is equipped with an auxiliary
refrigeration system,check the auxiliary
condenser for accumulation of dirt and lint. Dirty
condenserswill reducetherefrigeration
capacity of the mix hopper. Condensers must
be cleaned monthly with a soft brush. Never
use screwdrivers or other metal probes to clean
between the fins.
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.
Caution:Alwaysdisconnect
electrical power prior to cleaning the
condenser. Failure to follow this instruction
may result in electrocution.
j 8. If your machine is water cooled, check the water
lines for kinks or leaks. Kinks can occur when
the machine is moved back and forth for
cleaningormaintenancepurposes.
Deteriorated or cracked water lines should be
replacedonlyby anauthorizedTaylor
distributor.
The Air/Mix Pump Checklist
j 1. Dispose of o-rings and check bands if they are
worn, torn or fit too loosely. Replace them with
new ones.
j 2. Follow lubricating procedures carefully . Do not
lubricate check bands.
j 3. Handle plastic pump parts with care to avoid
nicks and cracks.
j 4. Be sure the air/mix pump is properly attached to
the drive hub, or severe and costly damage may
occur.
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 winter
storage service for you.
Wrap detachable parts of the freezer such as beater,
blades, drive shaft, and freezer door, and place them
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.
