Operator Checklist
During Cleaning and Sanitizing
Cleaning and sanitizing schedules are governed by your
state or local regulatory agencies and must be followed
accordingly. The following checkpoints should be
stressed during the cleaning and sanitizing operations.
Important! General cleaning and sanitizing must be 
performed daily. A thorough cleaning every 90 days is
also recommended.
Troubleshooting bacterial count
Thoroughly clean and sanitize the machine
regularly, including complete disassembly and
brush-cleaning.
Use all brushes supplied for thorough
cleaning.The brushes are specially designed to
reach all product passageways.
Use the brush to clean the mix inlet hole which
extends from the mix hopper down to the rear of
the freezing cylinder.
Use the black bristle brush to thoroughly clean the
rear shell bearing located at the rear of the
freezing cylinder. Use a generous amount of
cleaning solution on the brush.
Using a screwdriver and a cloth towel, clean the
rear shell bearing and the female hex drive socket
of lubricant and product deposits.
Properly prepare the cleaning and sanitizing
solutions. Read and follow the label directions
carefully. Too strong of a solution may damage
the parts, and too weak of a solution will not do an
adequate job of cleaning or sanitizing.
Clean and sanitize the syrup lines regularly to
prevent syrup residue buildup that would restrict
the proper flow of syrup.
On a regular basis, take a brix reading to ensure a
consistent quality product.
Regular Maintenance Checks
Replace scraper blades that are nicked,
damaged, or worn down.
Before installing the beater, make sure the scraper
blades are properly attached over the pins.
Check the rear shell bearing for signs of wear
(excessive product leakage from the rear drip
pans to the front drip tray).
Dispose of O-rings or seals if they are worn, torn,
or fit too loosely, and replace them with new ones.
Follow all lubricating procedures as outlined in the
Assembly section. (See “Assembly” on page 6-1.)
Check the condenser(s) for dirt and lint. Dirty
condensers will reduce the efficiency and capacity
of the machine. Condensers should be cleaned
monthly by removing and cleaning the poly-flo
filter.
Winter Storage
If the place of business is to be closed during the winter
months, it is important to protect the freezer by following
certain precautions, particularly if the building is subject
to freezing conditions.
Disconnect the freezer from the main power source to
prevent possible electrical damage. Your local Taylor
distributor can perform this service for you.
Wrap detachable parts of the freezer such as the beater,
scraper blades, driveshaft, and freezer door. Place these
parts in a protected, dry place. Rubber trim parts and
gaskets can be protected by wrapping them with
moisture-proof paper. All parts should be thoroughly
cleaned of dried mix or lubrication, which can attract mice
and other vermin.
Note: It is recommended that a service technician
perform winter storage draining, to ensure all water has
been removed. This will prevent the components from
freezing and rupturing.
