Section 2 To the Operator
Your freezer has been carefully engineered and
manufactured to give you dependable operation. If the
Taylor Model 142 is properly operated and cared for,
it will produce a consistent, quality product. Like all
mechanical products, this machine will require
cleaning and maintenance. A minimum amount of care
is necessary if the operating procedures outlined in
this manual are followed closely.
This Operator's Manual should be read before
operating or performing any maintenance on your
equipment.
Your Taylor freezer will NOT eventually compensate
and correct for any errors during the set‐up or filling
operations. Thus, the initial assembly and priming
procedures are of extreme importance. It is important
that the personnel responsible for the equipment's
operation study this manual in order to be properly
trained.
If you require technical assistance, please contact
your authorized Taylor Distributor.
If the crossed out wheeled bin symbol is
affixed to this product, it signifies that this product is
compliant with the EU Directive as well as other similar
legislation in effect after August 13, 2005. Therefore,
it must be collected separately after its use is
completed, and cannot be disposed as unsorted
municipal waste.
The user is responsible for returning the product to the
appropriate collection facility, as specified by your local
code.
For additional information regarding applicable local
laws, please contact the municipal facility and/or local
distributor.
Compressor Warranty Disclaimer
The refrigeration compressor(s) on this machine are
warranted for the term indicated on the warranty card
accompanying this machine. However, due to the
Montreal Protocol and the U.S. Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1990, many new refrigerants are
being tested and developed, thus seeking their way
into the service industry. Some of these new
refrigerants are being advertised as drop‐in
replacements for numerous applications. It should be
noted that, in the event of ordinary service to this
machine's refrigeration system, only the refrigerant
specified on the affixed data label should be used.
The unauthorized use of alternate refrigerants will void
your compressor warranty. It will be the owner's
responsibility to make this fact known to any technician
he employs.
It should also be noted that Taylor does not warrant the
refrigerant used in its equipment. For example, if the
refrigerant is lost during the course of ordinary service
to this machine, Taylor has no obligation to either
supply or provide its replacement either at billable or
unbillable terms. Taylor does have the obligation to
recommend a suitable replacement if the original
refrigerant is banned, obsoleted, or no longer available
during the five year warranty of the compressor.
Taylor will continue to monitor the industry and test
new alternates as they are being developed. Should a
new alternate prove, through our testing, that it would
be accepted as a drop‐in replacement, then the above
disclaimer would become null and void. To find out the
current status of an alternate refrigerant as it relates to
your compressor warranty, call the local Taylor
Distributor or the Taylor Factory. Be prepared to
provide the Model/Serial Number of the unit in
question.

Symbol Definitions
To better communicate in the International arena, the
words on many of our operator switches and buttons
have symbols to indicate their functions. Your Taylor
equipment is designed with these International
symbols.
The following chart identifies the symbol definitions
used on the operator switches.
= ON/AUTO
= OFF
= WASH
Power Switch
The center position is the OFF position. The left
position is WASH which activates the beater motor
only. The right position is the AUTO position, which
activates the beater motor and the refrigeration.

6 Model 142Important: To the Operator
Indicator Light - MIX LOW
A mix level indicating light is located on the front of the
machine. When the light is on, it indicates that the mix
hopper has a low supply of mix. The hopper should be
refilled immediately. Always maintain at least 2” (5.1
cm.) of mix in the hopper. If mix is not added to the
hopper, the freezing cylinder may freeze. This will
cause damage to the beater assembly and to the
freezer door.
Standby Switch
This push button switch determines which mode of
operation the freezing cylinder is operating in. If the
center button of this switch is in the “OUT” position and
it is not illuminated, the unit will operate in the normal
product dispensing mode when the toggle switch is
placed in the AUTO position.
If the center button of the standby switch is in the “IN”
position and is illuminated, the machine will operate in
the STANDBY mode when the toggle switch is placed
in the AUTO position.
Reset Mechanism
Should an overload condition occur, the freezer will
automatically shut down. To properly reset the freezer,
place the toggle switch in the OFF position. Wait two
or three minutes; then press the reset button located
in the side panel. Place the toggle switch in the WASH
position and observe the freezer's performance; return
the toggle switch to the AUTO position.
Temperature Adjustments
Temperature adjustments should be performed only
by an authorized Taylor Service Representative.
Feed Tube
The feed tube meters a combination of mix and air into
the freezing cylinder. If mix is not added to the hopper,
the freezing cylinder may freeze. This will cause
damage to the beater assembly and to the freezer
door. Depending upon the product being run, you may
wish to contact your local authorized Taylor Distributor
to make a slight adjustment in the feed tube.
When the unit is operating in the AUTO mode, the
metering hole should be placed in the downward
position. When the unit is placed in the STANDBY
mode, the tube should be inverted.

Model 142 Operating Procedures
Section 6 Operating Procedures
The Model 142 has a 1.5 quart (1.4 liter) capacity
freezing cylinder. The mix flows from the hopper to the
freezing cylinder through a feed tube. The mix flow is
controlled by gravity.
We begin our instructions at the point where we enter
the store in the morning and find the parts
disassembled and laid out to air dry from the previous
night's cleaning.
These opening procedures will show you how to
assemble these parts into the freezer, sanitize them
and prime the freezer with fresh mix in preparation to
serve your first portion.
If you are disassembling the machine for the first time
or need information to get to the starting point in our
instructions, turn to page 14 “Disassembly”, and start
there.

Step 2
Remove the handscrews and freezer door. Remove
the beater assembly from the freezing cylinder and
take these parts to the sink for cleaning.
Step 3
Remove the splash shield from the freezer and take to
the sink for cleaning.
Step 4
Remove the rear drip pan from the front panel. Take it
to the sink for cleaning.
Note: If the drip pan is filled with an excessive amount
of mix, this is an indication that the drive shaft o‐ring of
the beater assembly should be replaced or lubricated
properly.
Brush Cleaning
Step 1
Prepare a sink with an approved cleaning solution (ex‐
amples: Kay‐5 or Stera-Sheen). USE WARM
WATER AND FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURER'S
SPECIFICATIONS. (IMPORTANT: Follow the label
directions. A STRONG solution can cause parts dam‐
age. A MILD solution will not provide adequate clean‐
ing.) Make sure all brushes provided with the freezer
are available for brush cleaning.
Step 2
Remove the o‐ring from the drive shaft of the beater
assembly.
Note: To remove o‐rings, use a towel to grasp the
o‐ring. Apply pressure in an upward direction until the
o‐ring pops out of its groove. With the other hand, push
the top of the o‐ring forward, and it will roll out of the
groove and can be easily removed. If there is more
than one o‐ring to be removed, always remove the rear
o‐ring first. This will allow the o‐ring to slide over the
forward rings without falling into the open grooves.
Step 3
From the freezer door, remove the design cap, draw
valve handle, valve lifter arm, and draw valve. Remove
all o‐rings.
Step 4
Remove the large o‐ring, the front bearing, and the
guide bearing from the back of the freezer door.
Step 5
Thoroughly brush clean all disassembled parts in the
cleaning solution, making sure all lubricant and mix film
is removed. Take particular care to brush clean the
draw valve core in the freezer door. Place all the
cleaned parts on a clean, dry surface to air dry
overnight.

Section 7 Important: Operator Checklist
During Cleaning and Sanitizing:
Cleaning and sanitizing schedules are governed
by federal, state, or local regulatory agencies, and
must be followed accordingly. If the unit has a
“Standby mode”, it must not be used in lieu of
proper cleaning and sanitizing procedures and
frequencies set forth by the ruling health
authority. The following check points should be
stressed during the cleaning and sanitizing
operations.
CLEANING AND SANITIZING MUST BE
PERFORMED DAILY.
ALWAYS FOLLOW LOCAL HEALTH CODES.
Troubleshooting Bacterial Count:
j1. Thoroughly clean and sanitize machine
regularly, including complete disassembly and
brush cleaning.
j2. Use all brushes supplied for thorough cleaning.
The brushes are specially designed to reach all
mix passageways.
j3. Use the smaller white bristle brush to clean the
mix inlet hole which extends from the mix
hopper down to the rear of the freezing cylinder.
j4. Use the black bristle brush to thoroughly clean
the rear shell bearing located at the rear of the
freezing cylinder. Be sure to have a generous
amount of cleaning solution on the brush.
j5. IF LOCAL HEALTH CODES PERMIT THE
USE OF RERUN, make sure the mix rerun is
stored in a sanitized, covered stainless steel
container and used the following day. DO NOT
prime the machine with rerun. When using
rerun, skim off the foam and discard; then mix
the rerun with fresh mix in a ratio of 50/50 during
the day's operation.
j6. On a designated day of the week, run the mix as
low as feasible and discard after closing. This
will break the rerun cycle and reduce the
possibility of high bacteria counts.
j7. Properly prepare the cleaning and sanitizing
solutions. Read and follow 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.
j8. Temperature of mix in mix hopper and walk‐in
cooler should be below 40_F. (4.4_C.).
Regular Maintenance Checks:
j1. Check the rear shell bearing for signs of wear
(excessive mix leakage in rear drip pan). Verify
that it has been cleaned properly.
j2. Using a screwdriver and cloth towel, keep the
rear shell bearing and the female hex drive
socket clean and free of lubricant and mix
deposits.
j3. Dispose of o‐rings and seals if they are worn,
torn, or fit too loosely. Replace these o‐rings
with new ones.
j4. Follow all lubricating procedures as outlined in
“Assembly”.
j5. Check the condenser for accumulation of dirt
and lint. A dirty condenser will reduce the
efficiency and capacity of the machine.
Condensers should be cleaned monthly with a
soft brush.
Note: For machines equipped with an air filter,
it will be necessary to vacuum clean the filters
on a monthly schedule.
Never use screwdrivers or other metal
probes to clean between the fins.
