Water Connections
(Water Cooled Units Only)
An adequate cold water supply with a hand shut-off
valve must be provided. On the underside of the base
pan, two 3/8” I.P.S. (for single-head units) or two 1/2”
I.P.S. (for double-head units) water connections for
inlet and outlet have been provided for easy hook-up.
1/2” inside diameter water lines should be connected
to the machine. (Flexible lines are recommended, if
local codes permit.) Depending on local water
conditions, it may be advisable to install a water
strainer to prevent foreign substances from clogging
the automatic water valve. There will be only one water
“in” and one water “out” connection for both
double-head and single-head units. DO NOT install a
hand shut-off valve on the water “out” line! Water
should always flow in this order: first, through the
automatic water valve; second, through the
condenser; and third, through the outlet fitting to an
opentrapdrain.
Air Cooled Units
The model 340 air cooled unit requires a minimum of
6” (152 mm) of clearance around both sides of the
freezer. It is recommended to install a skirt to one side
of the unit, and to place the back of the unit against a
wall. The models 341 and 342 air cooled units require
a minimum of 3” (76 mm) of air clearance around all
sides.
Failure to allow adequate clearance can reduce the
refrigeration capacity of the freezer and possibly
cause permanent damage to the compressor.
Electrical Connections
In the United States, this equipment is intended to be
installed in accordance with the National Electrical
Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70- 1987. The purpose of
the NEC code is the practical safeguarding of persons
and property from hazards arising from the use of
electricity. This code contains provisions considered
necessary for safety. Compliance therewith and
proper maintenance will result in an installation
essentially free from hazard!
In all other areas of the world, equipment should be
installed in accordance with the existing local codes.
Please contact your local authorities.
FOLLOW YOUR LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES!
Each freezer requires one power supply for each data
label. Check the data label(s) on the freezer for branch
circuit overcurrent protection or fuse, circuit ampacity
and electrical specifications. For proper power
connections, refer to the wiring diagram provided
inside of the electrical box.
CAUTION: THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED! FAILURE TO DO SO
CAN RESULT IN SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY
FROM ELECTRICAL SHOCK!
This unit is provided with an equipotential
grounding lug that is to be properly attached to the rear
of the frame by the authorized installer. The installation
location is marked by the equipotential bonding
symbol (5021 of IEC 60417-1) on both the removable
panel and the equipment’s frame.

SStationary appliances which 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 3 mm
installed in the external installation.
SAppliances that are permanently connected to
fixed wiring and for which leakage currents
may exceed 10 mA, particularly when
disconnected, not used for long periods, or
during initial installation, shall have protective
devices such as a GFI to protect against the
leakage of current, installed by authorized
personnel to the local codes.
SSupply cords used with this unit 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 an authorized Taylor service
technician in order to avoid a hazard.
Beater Rotation
Beater rotation must be clockwise as viewed
looking into the freezing cylinder.
Note: The following procedures must be
performed by an authorized Taylor service
technician.
To correct rotation on a three-phase unit, interchange
any two incoming power supply lines at the freezer
main terminal block only. To correct rotation on a
single-phase unit, change the leads inside the beater
motor. (Follow the diagram printed on the motor.)
Electrical connections are made directly to the
terminal block. The terminal block is provided in the
main control box located under the upper left side
panel on counter models or behind the service panel
on console models.
Refrigerant
In consideration of our environment, Taylor
uses only earth friendly HFC refrigerants. The HFC
refrigerant used in this unit is R404A. This refrigerant
is generally considered non-toxic and non-flammable,
with an Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP) of zero (0).
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 to approximately 80% will allow for
normal expansion.
Use only R404A refrigerant that conforms to
the AHRI standard 700 specification. The use of any
other refrigerant may expose users and operators to
unexpected safety hazards.
Refrigerant liquid sprayed onto the skin may
cause serious damage to tissue. Keep eyes and skin
protected. If refrigerant burns should occur, flush
immediately with cold water. If burns are severe, apply
ice packs and contact a physician immediately.
Taylor reminds technicians to be cautious of
government laws regarding refrigerant recovery,
recycling, and reclaiming systems. If you have any
questions regarding these laws, please contact the
factory Service Department.
WARNING: R404A refrigerant used in
conjunction with polyolester oils is extremely moisture
absorbent. When opening a refrigeration system, the
maximum time the system is open must not exceed 15
minutes. Cap all open tubing to prevent humid air or
water from being absorbed by the oil.

Section 2 To the Operator
The freezer you have purchased has been carefully
engineered and manufactured to provide dependable
operation. The Taylor Slush Models 340, 341, and 342,
when properly operated and cared for, will produce a
consistent quality product. Like all mechanical
products, these machines will require cleaning and
maintenance. A minimum amount of care and
attention 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 strongly
recommended that personnel responsible for the
equipment’s operation study these procedures
together in order to be properly trained and to make
sure that no misunderstandings exist.
In the event you should require technical assistance,
please contact your local authorized Taylor Distributor.
Note: Your Taylor warranty is valid only if the parts are
authorized Taylor parts, purchased from the local
authorized Taylor Distributor, and only if all required
service work is provided by an authorized Taylor
service technician. Taylor reserves the right to deny
warranty claims on units or parts if non- Taylor
approved parts or incorrect refrigerant were installed
in the unit, system modifications were performed
beyond factory recommendations, or it is determined
that the failure was caused by abuse, misuse, neglect,
or failure to follow all operating instructions. For full
details of your Taylor Warranty, please see the Limited
Warranty section in this manual.
Note: Constant research results in steady
improvements; therefore, information in this
manual is subject to change without notice.
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 unit are
warranted for the term stated in the Limited Warranty
section in this manual. 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 unit’s refrigeration system,
only the refrigerant specified on the affixed data
label should be used. The unauthorized use of
alternate refrigerants will void your Taylor compressor
warranty. It is the unit 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
Control Switch
The center position is “OFF”. The left position is
“WASH”, which activates only the beater motor. The
right position is “AUTO”, which activates the beater
motor and the refrigeration system.
Consistency Control
The viscosity (thickness) of the slush is controlled by
a sensing device called the consistency control. The
consistency control knob is located under the control
channel. To achieve a thicker slush, turn the knob
clockwise and counterclockwise to achieve a
thinner slush consistency.
Allow the refrigeration system to cycle on and cycle off
two or three times before an accurate consistency can
be evaluated.
Indicator Light - “Add Mix”
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 and should be refilled
as soon as possible. If mix is not added, a freeze-up
may occur, causing eventual damage to the beater,
blades, drive shaft, and freezer door.
For Your Information
The Models 340 and 341 come equipped with an
optional rack assembly and four syrup jars. Each syrup
jar holds 16 ounces (453.6 grams) of syrup. One pump
stroke will dispense 1/4 ounce (7 grams) of syrup.
Because of the many different types of syrups on the
market today, the syrup to slush ratio will vary. Consult
the label or manufacturer for the proper amount of
syrup for the desired drink size.
To serve slush product, simply add the flavor and open
the draw valve. The slush product should blend with
the syrup with no stirring necessary. If it does not, the
product is too thick and the consistency control should
be adjusted to a thinner consistency.

Models 340, 341, 342 Operating Procedures
120619
Section 6 Operating Procedures
The Model 341 has been selected to illustrate the
pictured step-by-step operating procedures for the
models contained in this manual. Each unit has a 20
quart (18.9 liter) mix hopper and the freezing cylinder
holds 7 quarts (6.6 liters) of slush product. The Model
342 has two mix hoppers and two freezing cylinders.
Therefore, duplicate the procedures (where
applicable) for the second side of the Model 342.
Note: The Model 342 comes equipped with two door
options: a standard door without a prime plug or a
self- closing door with a prime plug. Follow the
appropriate assembly procedures for your style door.
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 brush cleaning.
These opening procedures will illustrate how to
assemble these parts into the freezer, sanitize them,
and prime the freezer with slush base in preparation to
serve the first portion.
If you are disassembling the machine for the first time
or need information to get to this starting point in our
instructions, turn to page 29, “Disassembly” and start
there.
Assembly
MAKE SURE CONTROL SWITCH IS IN THE
“OFF” POSITION. Failure to do so may cause injury
from electrocution or hazardous moving parts .
Note: When lubricating parts, use an approved food
grade lubricant (example: Taylor Lube).
Step 1
Slide the o-ring into the first groove on the drive shaft.
Lubricate the groove, o-ring, and shaft portion that
comes in contact with the bearing on the beater drive
shaft.
DO NOT lubricate the square end of the drive shaft.
Slide the seal over the shaft and groove until it snaps
into place. Fill the inside portion of the seal with 1/4”
more lubricant and evenly lubricate the flat side of the
seal that fits onto the rear shell bearing.
Figure 2
Step 2
Insert the drive shaft into the freezing cylinder, (square
end first) and into the rear shell bearing, until the seal
fits securely over the rear shell bearing. Be certain the
drive shaft fits into the drive coupling without binding.

Step 3
Before installing the beater assembly, inspect the
scraper blades and clips.
Check the scraper blades for any signs of wear or
damage. If a scraper blade is nicked or worn, replace
both blades.
Check the scraper blade clips to make sure they are
not bent and the slot is even for the entire length of the
clip. Replace any damaged clips.
Figure 4
Step 4
If the blades and clips are in good condition, install the
scraper blade clip over the scraper blade. Place the
rear scraper blade over the rear holding pin (knife edge
to the outside). Holding the blade on the beater, turn
it over and install the front blade the same way.
Figure 5
Note: The hole on the scraper blade must fit securely
over the pin to prevent costly damage.
Step 5
Holding the blade in position, insert the beater
assembly into the freezing cylinder and slide it into
position over the drive shaft. Turn the beater slightly to
be certain that the beater is properly seated. When in
position, the beater will not protrude beyond the front
of the freezing cylinder.
Figure 6
Step 6
Slide the o-ring into the groove on the front of the shaft
and lubricate these parts to prevent leaking. Place the
white, plastic guide bearing on the rear of the rotor
shaft. DO NOT lubricate the guide bearing.
Figure 7
Step 7
Insert the torque rotor shaft, plastic bearing end first,
making sure that it fits into the hole in the beater drive
shaft. Rotate it several times to check for proper
positioning.
