Safety

We at Taylor Company are concerned about the safety of 
operators at all times when they are coming in contact 
with the machine and its parts. Taylor makes every effort 
to design and manufacture built-in safety features to 
protect operators and service technicians.

Installing and servicing refrigeration equipment can be 
hazardous because of system pressure and electrical 
components. Only trained and qualified service 
personnel should install, repair, or service. 

When working on refrigeration equipment, observe 
precautions noted in the literature, tags and labels 
attached to the machine, and other safety precautions 
that may apply. Follow all safety code requirements. 
Wear safety glasses and work gloves.

DANGER! 

Failure to adhere to the following 

safety precautions may result in severe personal injury or 
death. Failure to comply with these warnings may also 
damage the machine and/or its components. Such 
damage may require component replacement and 
service repair expenses

.

NOTICE! DO NOT

 operate this machine 

without reading this entire manual first. Failure to follow 
all of these operating instructions may result in damage 
to the machine, poor performance, health hazards, or 
personal injury.

IMPORTANT! 

This machine is to be used only 

by trained personnel. It is not intended for use, cleaning, 
or maintenance by children or people with reduced 
physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of 
experience and knowledge, unless given supervision or 
instruction concerning the use of the machine by a 
person responsible for their safety. Children should be 
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the 
machine.

WARNING!

 Avoid injury.

•

DO NOT

 operate the machine unless it is 

properly grounded.

•

DO NOT

 operate the machine with fuses larger 

than specified on the machine's data label.

•

All repairs should be performed by an 

authorized Taylor service technician.

•

The main power supplies to the machine must 

be disconnected prior to performing installation, 
repairs, or maintenance.

•

For Cord-Connected Machines: 

Only Taylor 

service technicians or licensed electricians may 
install a plug or replacement cord on the 
machine.

•

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 
local codes.

•

Stationary machines that are not equipped with 

a power cord and a plug or another device to 
disconnect the appliance from the power source 
must have an all-pole disconnecting device with 
a contact gap of at least 0.125 in. (3 mm) in the 
external installation.

•

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 the manufacturer, service agent, or 
a similarly qualified person to avoid a hazard.
