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, make sure that
scraper blades are properly attached over the
beater pins.
  Dispose of O-rings or seals that are worn, torn, or
fit too loosely and replace them with new ones.
  Follow all lubrication procedures as outlined in the
“Assembly” instructions of this manual.
  Check rear shell bearing for signs of wear
(excessive mix leakage in rear drip pan) and
make sure it is properly cleaned.
  Check the condenser 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.
  If your machine is water-cooled, 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 service technician.
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 to be left
unheated and 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 spring in water valve. Use air
pressure on the outlet side to blow out any remaining
water in the condenser.
This is extremely important.
Failure to follow this procedure may cause severe and
costly damage to the refrigeration system.
Wrap detachable parts of the freezer such as the beater
and blades, drive shaft, baffle and freezer door, and
place them in a protected dry place. Rubber trim parts
and gaskets can be protected by wrapping with moisture-
proof paper. All parts should be thoroughly cleaned of
dried mix or lubrication accumulations, which can attract
mice and other vermin.
Your local Taylor distributor can perform this service for
you.
