Winter Storage
If the place of business is to be closed during the winter
months or for any extended period of time, it is important
to protect the machine by following certain precautions,
particularly if the building is subject to freezing
conditions.
Disconnect the machine from the main power source to
prevent possible electrical damage.
On water-cooled machines, 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.
Important! Failure to follow this procedure may cause
severe and costly damage to the machine.
Your local Taylor distributor can perform this winter
storage service for you.
Wrap detachable parts of the machine including but not
limited to the beater, blades, driveshaft, and freezer door,
and place those parts in a protected dry place. Rubber
trim parts and gaskets can be protected by wrapping
them with moisture-proof paper. Before such storage, all
parts should be thoroughly cleaned of dried mix or
lubrication, which can attract mice and other vermin.
It is recommended that a Taylor service technician
perform winter storage draining to make sure all water
has been removed. This will guard against freezing and
rupturing of the components.
