Operator Information
This soft serve freezer has been carefully engineered
and manufactured to give you dependable operation.
This machine, 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.
The Taylor soft serve models covered in this manual are
C152 and C161.
IMPORTANT! This manual should be read
before operating or performing any maintenance on the
machine.
Your Taylor machine will NOT compensate for and/or
correct any errors made during the setup or filling
operations. Thus, the initial assembly , setup, and priming
procedures are of extreme importance. It is strongly
recommended that all personnel responsible for the
machine’s operation, including assembly and
disassembly, go through these procedures together in
order to be properly trained and to make sure that all
personnel understand their role in using and maintaining
the machine.
In the event you should require technical assistance,
please contact your local authorized Taylor distributor.
Note: Your Taylor warranty is valid only if the parts are
authorized Taylor parts purchased from the local
authorized Taylor distributor, and only if all required
service work is provided by a Taylor service technician.
T aylor reserves the right to deny warranty claims on units
or parts if unapproved parts or incorrect refrigerant were
installed in the unit, system modifications were performed
beyond factory recommendations, or it is determined that
the failure was caused by abuse, misuse, neglect, or
failure to follow all operating instructions. For full details

Compressor Warranty Disclaimer
The refrigeration compressor(s) on this unit are
warranted for the term stated in the Limited Warranty
section in this manual. 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 unit's refrigeration system, only
the refrigerant specified on the affixed data label
should be used. The unauthorized use of alternate
refrigerants will void your Taylor compressor warranty. It
is the unit 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

TO THE OPERATOR
provide its replacement either at billable or non-billable
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.
2
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, the above
disclaimer would become null and void. To find 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.
