Electrical Hook--Up Installation

(60 Cycle, 1 Ph, Supplied With Cord and Plug)

This freezer 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 208/230/60/1, is 20A; therefore
the wall outlet must also be 20A. Check the data label,
located on the side panel, for electrical specifications.

Permanent wiring may be employed if required by local
codes. Instructions for conversion to permanent wiring
are as follows:

1. Be sure the freezer is electrically disconnected.

2. Remove the appropriate panel and locate the
small electrical box at the base 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.

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

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.

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.

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 three--phase unit, interchange
any two incoming power supply lines at freezer main
terminal block only . To correct rotation on a
single--phase unit, change the leads inside the beater
motor. (Follow diagram printed on motor.)

Electrical connections are made directly to the
terminal block provided in the splice boxes which are
mounted mid--level on the frame channel on the sides
of the freezer.

WARNING: R404A refrigerant used 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 2 To the Operator

The Model 161 soft serve freezer has been carefully
engineered and manufactured to give you dependable
operation.

This unit, when properly operated and cared for, will
produce a consistent quality product. Like all
mechanical products, it 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.

The Model 161 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 strongly
recommended that personnel responsible for the
equipment’s operation, both assembly and
disassembly, go through these procedures together 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.

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.

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.

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.
