Operating Procedures
Models 345, 346, and 355 contain two 7 qt. (6.6 L)
freezing cylinders. Model 349 contains four 7 qt. (6.6 L)
freezing cylinders.
CAUTION! This machine is pressurized when in
operation. The control switch must be in the OFF position
until the machine is completely assembled. No part
should ever be removed from the machine while it is in
operation. No part should be removed until the control
switch has been turned to the OFF position and all
pressure has been relieved by opening the draw valve.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in severe
personal injury from hazardous moving parts or from the
impact of propelled parts.
The control switch, located on the top side of the control
box must be in the OFF position until the machine is
completely assembled. No part should ever be removed
from the machine while it is in operation. No parts should
be removed until the control switch has been turned to
the OFF position and all pressure has been relieved at
the draw handle.
The syrup flow controls combine the two ingredients of
soda water and syrup, and send this combination to the
mix hoppers. As product is drawn, new product from the
hopper will flow through a mix feed tube down into the
freezing cylinder. The mix hopper is supplied with 20 lb.
of CO
2
gas for dispensing the finished product.
We begin our instructions at the point where the parts are
disassembled and laid out to air dry.
The following procedures will show you how to assemble
the parts into the freezer, sanitize them, and prime the
freezer with fresh product.
Duplicate the following procedures, where they apply, for
the remaining freezing cylinder(s).
If you are disassembling the machine for the first time or
need information to get to this starting point in our
instructions,
(See Disassembly on page 6-13.)
Assembly
WARNING! Make sure the power switch is in
the OFF position. Failure to follow this instruction may
result in severe personal injury from hazardous moving
parts.
Note: When lubricating parts, use an approved food
grade lubricant (example: Taylor Lube HP).
1. Lubricate the O-ring groove. Slide the O-ring into the
groove on the drive shaft. Lubricate the drive shaft
seal groove, the O-ring, and the shaft portion that
comes in contact with the bearing on the beater drive
shaft. Do not lubricate the hex end of the drive shaft.
Figure 6-1
2. Lubricate the inside diameter of the drive shaft seal.
Install the drive shaft seal bushing in the drive shaft
seal.
