Operating Procedures
The following are step-by-step operating procedures for
model 390 slush freezer. This unit has a 20 qt.
(18.9 L) mix hopper, and the freezing cylinder holds
7 qt. (6.6 L) of slush product.
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 show you how to
assemble these parts into the freezer, sanitize them, and
prime the freezer with the slush base you have selected
in preparation to serve your 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
6-5, and start
there.
Assembly
BE SURE THE CONTROL SWITCH IS IN
THE OFF POSITION. Failure to do so may cause injury
from electrocution or 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 hex 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 in. (6.35 mm) more lubricant and evenly
lubricate the flat side of the seal that fits onto the rear
shell bearing.
2. Install the drive shaft into the freezing cylinder, hex
end first, and into the rear shell bearing until the seal
fits securely over the rear shell bearing. Make sure
the drive shaft fits into the drive coupling without
binding.
USE EXTREME CAUTION when handling the
beater assembly. The scraper blades are very sharp and
may cause injury.
3. Before installing the beater assembly, check the
scraper blades for any signs of wear or damage. If a
scraper blade is nicked or worn, replace both blades.
Figure 6-1
4. If the blades are in good condition, install the scraper
blades. 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.

5. Holding the blades in position, insert the beater
assembly into the freezing cylinder and slide into
position over the drive shaft. Turn the beater slightly
to be certain that the beater is properly seated. When
in position, the beater will not protrude beyond the
front of the freezing cylinder.
