To the Installer

•

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.

•

Secure supply cord ground lead to machine in a 

location where if the cord is pulled the main 
power leads become taut before the ground 
lead can break loose.

Failure to follow these instructions may result in 
electrocution. Contact your local authorized Taylor 
distributor for service.

Beater Rotation

NOTICE! 

Beater rotation must be clockwise as 

viewed looking into the freezing cylinder.

To correct the rotation on a three-phase machine, 
interchange any two incoming power supply lines at the 
freezer main terminal block only. To correct rotation on a 
single-phase machine, exchange leads inside the beater 
motor. (Follow the diagram printed on the motor.)

Electrical connections are made directly to the terminal 
block provided in the main control box, located behind 
the service panel.

It is recommended that beater rotation adjustment be 
performed by an authorized Taylor service technician.

Refrigerant

CAUTION!

 This machine contains fluorinated 

greenhouse gases (F-Gas) to provide refrigeration using 
a hermetically sealed circuit or within foam insulation. 
This machine’s type of gas, quantity, Global Warming 
Potential (GWP), and CO

2

 tonnes equivalent information 

is recorded on the machine’s data label. The refrigerant 
used is generally considered nontoxic and 
nonflammable. However any gas under pressure is 
potentially hazardous and must be handled with caution. 

NEVER

 fill any refrigerant cylinder completely with liquid. 

Filling the cylinder approximately 80% will allow for 
normal expansion.

CAUTION! 

Use only approved refrigerant 

listed on the machine's data label or authorized through a 
manufacturer's technical bulletin. The use of any other 
refrigerant may expose users and operators to 
unexpected safety hazards.

WARNING!

 Refrigerant liquid sprayed onto the 

skin may cause serious damage to tissue. Keep eyes 
and skin protected. When refrigerant burns should occur, 
flush the area immediately with cold water. If burns are 
severe, apply ice packs and contact a physician 
immediately.
