Model 142 To th e Installer

Air Cooled Units

DO NOT obstruct air intake and discharge openings:

Air cooled units require a minimum of 6” (152 mm) of clearance on both sides and 4” (102 mm) of clearance on the bottom of the freezer. T o prevent warm exhaust from recirculating, place the rear of the unit against the wall. This will allow adequate air flow across the condenser.

Electrical Connections

In the United States, this equipment is intended to be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA70-1987. The purpose of the NEC code is the practical safeguarding of persons and property from hazards arising from the use of electricity. This code contains provisions considered necessary for safety. In all other areas of the world, equipment should be installed in accordance with the existing local codes. Please contact your local authorities.

FOLLOW YOUR LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES!

Each unit requires one power supply for each data label on the unit. Check the data label(s) on the freezer for branch circuit overcurrent protection or fuse, circuit ampacity, and other electrical specifications. Refer to the wiring diagram provided inside of the electrical box for proper power connections.

CAUTION: THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED! FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY FROM ELECTRICAL SHOCK!

S Stationary appliances which are not

equipped with a power cord and a plug or another device to disconnect the appliance from the power source must have an all-pole disconnecting device with a contact gap of at least 3mm installed in the external installation.

S Appliances that are permanently connected

to fixed wiring and for which leakage currents may exceed 10 mA, particularly when disconnected, 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 authorized personnel to the local codes.

S 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.

This unit is provided with an equipotential grounding lug that is to be properly attached to the rear of the frame by the authorized installer. The installation location is marked by the equipotential bonding symbol (5021 of IEC 60417-1) on both the removable panel and the equipment’s frame.

Electrical Hook--up Installation

For 60 Cycle, 1 PH, Supplied With Cord and Plug

This equipment is supplied with a 3--wire cord and grounding type plug for connection to a single phase, 60 cycle, branch circuit supply. This unit must be plugged into a properly grounded receptacle. The cord and plug provided for 115/60/1 and 208-- 230/60/1 is 15 amp.; therefore the wall outlet must also be 15 amp. Check the data label located on the rear of the freezer for electrical specifications.

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).

IMPORTANT: In order to secure the compressor and to minimize vibration during shipment, two shipping bolts have been added to the base pan of the unit. Before installation, these bolts must be removed.

Permanent wiring may be used if local codes require it. Instructions for conversion to permanent wiring are as follows:

IMPORTANT: This procedure must be

performed by a qualified electrician.

1. Be sure the freezer is electrically disconnected.

2. Remove the appropriate panel and locate the control box at the back of the freezer.

3. Remove the factory-- installed cord and strain relief bushing.

4. Route incoming permanent wiring through 7/8” (22 mm) hole in base pan.

5. Connect two power supply leads, attach ground (earth) wire to the grounding lug inside the electrical box.

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.

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.

6. Be sure unit is properly grounded before applying power.

FOLLOW YOUR LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES!

Section 2 To the Operator

Your freezer has been carefully engineered and manufactured to give you dependable operation. If the Taylor Model 142 is properly operated and cared for, it will produce a consistent, quality product. Like all mechanical products, this machine will require cleaning and maintenance. A minimum amount of care 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 and correct for any errors during the set--up or filling operations. Thus, the initial assembly and priming procedures are of extreme importance. It is important that the personnel responsible for the equipment’s operation study this manual in order to be properly trained.

In the event you should require technical assistance, please contact your local authorized Taylor Distributor.

Note: 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.

Note: Constant research results in steady improvements; therefore, information in this manual is subject to change without notice.

For additional information regarding applicable local laws, please contact the municipal facility and/or local distributor.

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.

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 the appropriate collection facility, as specified by your local code.

090421

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.
