Operating Procedures
The Model 441 has been selected to show you the
pictured step- by- step operating procedures for both
models contained in this manual. These models, for
practical purposes of operation, are the same.
They both store 20 quarts (18.9 liters) of mix in the
hopper. The mix then flows
by gravity
through a mix
feed tube down into the freezing cylinder.
Locate your model number below to determine the
characteristics of your freezer:
441: (1) 7 quart (6.6 liter) freezing cylinder.
444: (2) 7 quart (6.6 liter) freezing cylinders.
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 cleaning.
The following procedures will show you how to
assemble the parts into the freezer, sanitize them, and
prime the freezer with fresh mix 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 page 19, “Disassembly” and start
there.
Assembly
MAKE SURE THE CONTROL SWITCH IS
IN THE “OFF” POSITION TO ELIMINATE THE
CHANCE OF MOVING PARTS.
Note:
When lubricating parts, use an approved food
grade lubricant (example: Taylor Lube).
Step 1
Lubricate the groove and shaft portion that comes in
contact with the bearing on the beater drive shaft. Slide
the seal over the shaft and groove until it fits into place.
DO NOT lubricate the hex end of the drive shaft. Fill the
inside portion of the seal with 1/4” more lubricant and
evenly lubricate the flat side of the seal that comes in
contact with the bearing.

Step 2
Insert the drive shaft through the rear shell bearing in
the freezing cylinder and engage the hex end firmly
into the gear box coupling.

USE EXTREME CAUTION
when handling
the beater assembly. The scraper blades are very
sharp and may cause injury.
