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.
Refrigeration Charging and Line
Construction
The dispensing unit is shipped with a refrigerant
holding charge that is sufficient enough to prevent
moisture contamination (8 oz./227 g. R404A). This
holding charge will become part of the total system
charge.
The condensing unit is shipped with the total amount
of refrigerant required for a typical installation of 75 ft.
or less with a single dispenser. For other installation
configurations, use the following chart for line sizing
and for adding required refrigerant.
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.
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.

Installation
Step 1
Install refrigeration lines from the dispenser to the
condensing unit. Do not create oil traps.
Note: For proper oil return, installation of horizontal
suction lines are to be sloped downward in the
direction of the condensing unit. The slope must be a
minimum 1/4” (.64 cm.) angle per 10 ft. (3.048 m.) of
line length.
Step 5
Evacuate the field constructed refrigerant lines using
the access fittings brazed on the condensing end of the
refrigeration lines.
Step 6
When the evacuation process is complete, relieve the
vacuum with 4 oz. (113 g.) of HP62 refrigerant per line,
for a total of 8 oz. (227 g.) This procedure will prevent
moisturecontaminationduringdispenserand
condensing unit connection and complete the total
charge.
Refrigeration Connections
Connect the refrigerant line quick connect/disconnect
couplings to the mating quick connect/disconnect
couplings on the dispensing and condensing unit.
Step 1
Removetheshippingcapsfromthequick
connect/disconnect coupling on the dispensing unit.
Step 2
Thoroughly clean and lubricate the mating surfaces of
the quick connect/disconnects.
Note: Use polyolester oil to lubricate the surfaces.
Figure 1
Normally, any straight run of tubing must be supported
near each end of the run. Long runs require additional
supports. As a guide, 3/8” to 3/4” copper should be
supported every 5 ft. When changing directions, no
corner should be left unsupported. Supports should be
placed a maximum of 2 ft. in each direction from the
corner. If soft copper tube is used, make sure it is not
kinked or flattened. If hard drawn copper tubing is
used, use only long radius elbows.
Step 2
Brazethesuppliedquickconnect/disconnect
couplings on the dispenser end of the refrigeration
lines. Couplings are supplied with the dispenser.
Step 3
Braze the quick connect/disconnect couplings and
access tees on the condensing unit end of the
refrigeration lines. Couplings and access tees are
supplied with the unit.
Note: Wrap a wet cloth aroundthe brasscoupling
bodies to prevent heat damage to the seal.
Step 3
Manually thread the coupling halves together to insure
proper mating of the threads.
Step 4
Using proper sized wrenches, tighten the coupling
halves until the round, flat surfaces of inner coupling
bodies completely depress one another.
Step 5
Once the flat surfaces are completely depressed,
tighten the couplings an additional 1/4 turn. This step
is necessary to insure that the knife edge of the seal
seats into the brass seat of the coupling halves,
forming a leak--proof joint (metal seal).
Step 4
Test the field constructed lines for leaks.
Models RD30/RC25To the Installer

Step 6
Check all connections for leaks.
Step 7
Insulate all exposed suction line tubing and fittings.
Step 8
Set the pump down switch located in the condensing
unit. For indoor condensing unit application:
Set cut in at 30 PSIG (207 kPa).
Set cut out at 5 PSIG (34 kPa).
For outdoor condensing unit application:
Set cut in at 20 PSIG (138 kPa).
Set cut out at 0 PSIG (0 kPa).
Pump down pressure readings are to be taken at the
refrigeration line access fittings at the condensing unit.
Step 6
Allow the dispenser to run until the condensing unit
cycles off. Verify the proper pump down pressure
switch setting. SeeStep 8of “Refrigeration
Connections” (page 6).
Note: Pump down pressure readings are to be taken
at the refrigeration line access fittings near the
condensing unit.
Step 7
If necessary, adjust viscosity to produce satisfactory
product. Adjustments are made by turning the
viscosity adjustment screw (located on the front panel)
clockwise for a thicker product or counterclockwise for
a thinner product.
Set Up Procedures
Standard Fill Module
Step 1
Connect the product supply line to the 1/4” barbed
fitting on the fill module. Adjust the fill system pressure
to deliver product to the hopper at 1.5 to 2.5 oz. (42.5
to 70.9 g) per second. (Approximately 15 to 20 PSIG
[103--138 kPa] for most products.)
Step 2
Lubricate, assemble, sanitize and prime the dispenser
as outlined in the Assembly section of this manual.
Step 3
Place the fill switch in the “ON” position. Allow the
product to fill the cylinder and the hopper until the mix
level float is satisfied.
Step 4
Place the power switch in the “AUTO” position.
Step 5
To observe the suction pressure, attach refrigeration
gauges to the suction access fitting in the dispenser.
Pressures should read approximately 32 psi. (221
kPa) for non--alcoholic application and 28 psi. (193
kPa) for alcoholic application.
Note: Connection to the condensing unit suction
access can give an improper reading.
Units Equipped With Post Mix Valve
Step 1
Connect syrup and water lines.
Note: Adjust the syrup supply pressure to maintain 60
PSIG. Water pressure minimum 40 PSIG, maximum
100 PSIG, may require regulated water supply.
Step 2
Turn the “FILL” switch in the front of the RD30 to the
“ON” position.
Step 3
Press and hold the area on the front of the post mix
valve marked “PUSH” to prime the fill system. Priming
is required until the B.I.B. switch and the float switch
are both satisfied. Priming is complete when product
will flow without pressing the “PUSH” button.
Step 4
To adjust either the syrup or water flow rate, turn the
flow adjustment screw clockwise to increase flow, or
counterclockwise to decrease flow. Adjust the screws
until the desired brix is obtained. The flow rate should
be 1.5 to 2.5 oz. (43 fl. ml.) per second.
Note: Both syrup and 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 water adjustment is on the left.

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 T aylor Factory. Be prepared to
provide the Model/Serial Number of the unit in
question.

Section 7Important: Operator Checklist
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.
CLEANING AND SANITIZING MUST BE
PERFORMED DAILY.
T roubleshooting Bacterial Count
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
product 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.
Regular Maintenance Checks
j 1. Replace scraper blades that are nicked or
damaged.
j 2. Before installing the beater, be certain that the
scraper blades are properly attached over the
pins.
j 3. Check the rear shell bearing for signs of wear
(excessive product leakage from the rear drip
pans to the front drip tray).
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
condenser(s) for accumulation of dirt and lint.
Dirty condensers will reduce the efficiency and
capacity of the machine. Condensers should be
cleaned monthly. Use a soft brush to clean
between the fins. 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
j 5. Using a screwdriver and cloth towel, keep the
female square drive socket and rear shell
bearing clean and free of lubricant and product
deposits.
j 6. 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 7. Clean and sanitize the product lines regularly to
prevent syrup residue build--up that would
restrict the proper flow of syrup.
j 8. On a regular basis, take a brix reading to assure
a consistent, quality product (post mix valve
systems only).
Models RD30/RC25Important: Operator Checklist
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.
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.
