IMPORTANT!
• Stationary machines which are not equipped
with a power cord and a plug or another device
to disconnect the machine from the power
source must have an all-pole disconnecting
device with a contact gap of at least 0.125 in. (3
mm) installed in the external installation.
• Machines that are permanently connected to
fixed wiring and for which leakage currents may
exceed 10 mA, particularly when disconnected
or not used for long periods, or during initial
installation, shall have protective devices to
protect against the leakage of current, such as a
GFI, installed by the authorized personnel to the
local codes.
• Supply cords used with this machine 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.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an
authorized Taylor service technician in order to avoid a
hazard. Secure the supply cord ground lead to the
machine in a location where if the cord is pulled, the main
power leads will become taut before the ground lead can
break loose.
Beater Rotation
NOTICE! Beater rotation must be clockwise as
viewed looking into the freezing cylinder.
To correct the rotation on a three-phase machine,
interchange any two incoming power supply lines at the
machine main terminal block only. To correct rotation on
a single-phase machine, exchange leads inside the
beater motor. (Follow the diagram printed on the motor.)
Electrical connections are made directly to the terminal
block provided in the main control box located behind the
service panel.
It is recommended that beater rotation adjustment be
performed by an authorized Taylor service technician.
Refrigerant
CAUTION! This equipment contains
fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-Gas) to provide
refrigeration using a hermetically sealed circuit or within
foam insulation. This unit's type of gas, quantity, Global
Warming Potential (GWP) and CO2 tonnes equivalent
information is recorded on the unit's data-label. The
refrigerant used is generally considered non-toxic and
non-flammable. 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
CAUTION! Use only approved refrigerant
listed on the unit's data-label or authorized through a
manufacturer's technical bulletin. The use of any other
refrigerant may expose users and operators to
unexpected safety hazards.
WARNING! Refrigerant liquid sprayed onto the

To the Operator
The freezer you have purchased has been carefully
engineered and manufactured to provide dependable
operation. The Taylor Slush Models 340, 341, and 342,
when properly operated and cared for, will produce a
consistent quality product. Like all mechanical products,
these machines 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.
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 strongly
recommended that personnel responsible for the
equipment’s operation study 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: 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 an authorized Taylor service
technician. Taylor reserves the right to deny warranty
claims on machine or parts if unapproved Taylor parts or
incorrect refrigerant were installed in the machine,
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 of your Taylor
Warranty, please see the Limited Warranty section in this
manual.
Note: Constant research results in steady
improvements; therefore, information in this manual is
subject to change without notice.
IMPORTANT! If the crossed-out wheeled-bin
symbol is affixed to this machine, it signifies that this
machine is compliant with the EU Directives as well as
other similar end-of-life 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 delivering the machine to the
appropriate collection facility, as specified by your local
code.

Compressor Warranty Disclaimer
The refrigeration compressor(s) on this machine 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 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 Taylor compressor warranty. It
is the machine 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 machines. 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 Taylor factory. Be prepared to provide the model/
serial number of the machine in question.

Symbol Definitions
To better communicate in the international arena, the
words on many of our operator switches and buttons
have symbols to indicate their functions. Taylor
equipments are designed with these international
symbols.
The following chart identifies the symbol definitions used
on the operator switches.
Control Switch
The center position is OFF. The left position is WASH,
which activates only the beater motor. The right position
is AUTO, which activates the beater motor and the
refrigeration system.
Consistency Control
The viscosity (thickness) of the slush is controlled by a
sensing device called the consistency control. The
consistency control knob is located under the control
channel. To achieve a thicker slush, turn the knob
clockwise and counterclockwise to achieve a thinner
slush consistency.
Allow the refrigeration system to cycle on and cycle off
two or three times before an accurate consistency can be
evaluated.
Indicator Light—Add Mix
A mix level indicating light is located on the front of the
machine. When the light is on, it indicates that the mix
hopper has a low supply of mix and should be refilled as
soon as possible. If mix is not added, a freeze-up may
occur, causing eventual damage to the beater, blades,
drive shaft, and freezer door.
For Your Information
The Models 340 and 341 come equipped with an optional
rack assembly and four syrup jars. Each syrup jar holds
16 ounces (453.6 grams) of syrup. One pump stroke will
dispense 1/4 ounce (7 grams) of syrup.
Because of the many different types of syrups on the
market today, the syrup to slush ratio will vary. Consult
the label or manufacturer for the proper amount of syrup
for the desired drink size.
To serve slush product, simply add the flavor and open
the draw valve. The slush product should blend with the
syrup with no stirring necessary. If it does not, the
product is too thick and the consistency control should be
adjusted to a thinner consistency.

Operating Procedure
Model 341 has been selected to illustrate the pictured
step-by-step operating procedures for the models
contained in this manual. Each machine has a 20 qt.
(18.9 L) mix hopper and the freezing cylinder holds 7 qt.
(6.6 L) of slush product. Model 342 has two mix hoppers
and two freezing cylinders. Therefore, duplicate the
procedures (where applicable) for the second side of
Model 342.
Note: Model 342 comes equipped with two door
options: a standard door without a prime plug or a
self-closing door with a prime plug. Follow the
appropriate assembly procedures for your style door.
We begin our instructions at the point where we enter the
store in the morning and find the parts disassembled and
laid out to air dry from the previous night’s brush cleaning.
These opening procedures will illustrate how to
assemble these parts into the freezer, sanitize them,
and
prime the freezer with slush base in preparation to
serve
the first portion.
If you are disassembling the machine for the first time or
need information to get to this starting point in our
instructions, turn to
Disassembly on page 6-13, and start
there.
Assembly
WARNING! Make sure the power switch is in
the OFF position. Failure to follow this instruction may
result in severe personal injury from hazardous moving
parts.
Note: When lubricating parts, use an approved food
grade lubricant (example: Taylor Lube).
1. Slide the O-ring into the first groove on the drive
shaft. Lubricate the groove, O-ring, and shaft portion
that comes in contact with the bearing on the beater
drive shaft.
Do not lubricate the square end of the drive shaft.
Slide the seal over the shaft and groove until it snaps
into place. Fill the inside portion of the seal with 1/4
more lubricant and evenly lubricate the flat side of the
seal that fits onto the rear shell bearing.
Figure 6-1
2. Insert the drive shaft into the freezing cylinder,
(square end first) and into the rear shell bearing, until
the seal fits securely over the rear shell bearing. Be
certain the drive shaft fits into the drive coupling
without binding.
Figure 6-2
3. Before installing the beater assembly, inspect the
scraper blades.
Check the scraper blades for any signs of wear or
damage. If a scraper blade is nicked or worn, replace
both blades.
4. If the blades are in good condition, place the rear
scraper blade over the rear holding pin (knife edge to
the outside). Holding the blade on the beater, turn it
over and install the front blade the same way.

Disassembly
WARNING! Make sure the power switch is in
the OFF position. Failure to follow this instruction may
result in severe personal injury from hazardous moving
parts.
1. Remove the torque arm, handscrews, freezer door,
torque rotor, beater assembly, scraper blades, and

Brush Cleaning
1. Prepare a sink of cleaning/sanitizing solution with an
active chlorine concentrate of 100 to 200 PPM (parts
per million).Use warm water and follow the
manufacturer’s specifications.
Important! Follow label directions. Too strong of a
solution can cause parts damage, while too mild of a
solution will not provide adequate cleaning. Make
sure all brushes provided with the freezer are
available for brush cleaning.
2. Remove the O-ring and seal from the drive shaft.
Note: To remove O-rings, use a single-service
towel to grasp the O-ring. Apply pressure in an
upward direction until the O-ring pops out of its
groove. With the other hand, push the top of the
O-ring forward and it will roll out of the groove and
can be easily removed.
If there is more than one O-ring to be removed,
always remove the rear O-ring first. This will allow the
O-ring to slide over the forward O-rings without falling
into the open grooves.

valve while removing the draw handle. After the draw
handle is removed, slowly release the pressure on
the draw valve.
4. Thoroughly brush clean all disassembled parts in the
cleaning solution, making sure all lubricant and mix
film is removed. Place all the cleaned parts on a
clean, dry surface to air dry.
5. Return to the freezer with a small amount of cleaning
solution. With the black bristle brush, brush clean the
rear shell bearing(s) at the back of the freezing
cylinder(s).

Operator Checklist
During Cleaning and Sanitizing
NOTICE! Cleaning and sanitizing schedules
are governed by your federal, state, or local regulatory
agencies and must be followed accordingly. Please refer
to the cleaning section of this manual for the proper
procedure to clean this machine.
IMPORTANT! Cleaning and sanitizing must be
performed daily.
Troubleshooting Bacterial Count
Thoroughly clean and sanitize the machine
regularly, including complete disassembly and
brush cleaning.
Use all brushes supplied for thorough cleaning.
The brushes are specially designed to reach all
mix passageways.
Use the bristle brush to clean the mix inlet hole
which extends from the mix hopper down to the
rear of the freezing cylinder.
Use the black bristle brush to thoroughly clean the
rear shell bearing located at the rear of the
freezing cylinder. Use a generous amount of
cleaning solution on the brush.
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.
Using a screwdriver and cloth towel, keep the
female square drive socket and rear shell bearing
clean and free of lubricant and mix deposits.
If local health codes permit the use of rerun,
make sure the mix rerun is stored in a sanitized,
covered, NSF-approved stainless steel rerun
container and used the following day. Do not
prime the machine with rerun. When using rerun,
skim off the foam and discard; then mix the rerun
with fresh mix in a ratio of 50:50 during the day’s
operation.
Regular Maintenance Checks
Rotate scraper blades to allow both sides of the
knife edge to wear evenly. This will contribute to
self-sharpening and help maintain fast, efficient
freezing.
Replace scraper blades that are nicked or
damaged.
Before installing the beater, be certain that the
scraper blades are properly attached over the
beater pins.
Dispose of O-rings and seals if they are worn,
torn, or fit too loosely, and replace them with new
ones.
Follow all lubricating procedures as outlined in
“Assembly on page 6-1”.
Check the rear shell bearing for signs of wear
(excessive mix leakage in rear drip pan) and be
certain it is properly cleaned.
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 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.
DANGER! The main power supply(s) to the
machine must be disconnected prior to performing any
installation, maintenance, or repairs. Failure to follow this
!
ALWAYS FOLLOW LOCAL HEALTH CODES.

instruction may result in personal injury or death from
electrical shock or hazardous moving parts, as well as
poor performance or damage to the machine.
On water-cooled machines, check the water lines
for kinks or leaks. Kinks can occur when the
machine is moved back and forth for cleaning or
maintenance purposes. Deteriorated or cracked
water lines should be replaced only by an
authorized Taylor mechanic
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.
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. 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 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 can
be protected by wrapping them with moisture-proof
paper. All parts should be thoroughly cleaned of dried
mix or lubrication, which can attract mice and other
vermin.
