(914 mm) at the rear of the unit for service access.
Each air cooled C043 requires three RC35 remote
condensing systems.
RC35: Each 60 Hz remote condenser requires a
minimum air clearance of 6” (152 mm) on three
sides.
Each 50 Hz remote condenser requires a minimum
air clearance of 12” (305 mm) on three sides.
An air deflector must be installed on the condenser
side of each RC35 if the floor clearance is less than
5” (127 mm). (Note: The legs are typically mounted
on 4” x 4” lumber to achieve the minimum floor
clearance.)
Failure to allow adequate air clearance can reduce
the refrigeration capacity of the unit and possibly
cause permanent damage to the compressor.
Water Cooled Units
C043: The minimum air clearance requirement is 3”

An adequate cold water supply must be provided
with a hand shut-off valve. On the underside of the
base pan or on the right side, two 3/8” I.P.S. water
connections for inlet and outlet are 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. 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.
Minimum water pressure is 30 psi (207 kPa) and
maximum water pressure is 150 psi (1034 kPa).
A back flow prevention device is
required on the incoming water connection side.
Please refer to the applicable National, State, and

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 unit'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 or 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 the 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 counter-clockwise
as viewed looking into the freezing cylinder.
If the beater rotation is not counter-clockwise,
contact your local authorized Taylor service
technician.
Refrigerant
In consideration of our environment, Taylor
proudly uses only earth friendly HFC refrigerants.
The HFC refrigerants used in this unit are R404A
and R134a. These refrigerants are 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.
Only R404A and R134a refrigerant that
conforms to the AHRI standard 700 specification
may be used. 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 Company reminds technicians to be
cautious of all applicable laws regarding refrigerant
recovery, recycling, and reclaiming systems. If you
have any questions regarding these laws, please
contact the Taylor Company's Service Department.
WARNING: R404A and R134a 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
Your unit has been carefully engineered and
manufactured to give you dependable operation.
When properly operated and cared for, it will
produce a consistent quality product. Like all
mechanical products, it will require cleaning and
maintenance. A minimum amount of care and
attention will be necessary if the operating
procedures outlined in this manual are followed
closely.
DO NOT operate the unit without reading
this entire Operator Manual first. Failure to follow all
of these operating instructions may result in damage
to the unit, poor performance, health hazards,
personal injury, or death.
Your Taylor unit will NOT eventually compensate for
and correct 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, both assembly and
disassembly, go through these procedures together
in order to be properly trained and to make sure that
no confusion exists.
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

Model C043 To the Operator
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 unit, Taylor has no obligation to either
supply or provide replacement refrigerant either at
billable or unbillable terms. Taylor will recommend a
suitable replacement if the original refrigerant is
banned, obsoleted, or no longer available during the
five (5) year Taylor warranty of the compressor.
From time-to-time Taylor may test new refrigerant
alternates. Should a new refrigerant alternate prove,
through Taylor's testing, that it would be accepted as
a drop-in replacement for this unit, then the
disclaimer in this “Compressor Warranty Disclaimer”
section will not apply to the use of the alternate
refrigerant approved by Taylor.
To find out the current status of an alternate
refrigerant as it relates to your compressor warranty,
call Taylor or your local authorized Taylor distributor.
Be prepared to provide the Model/Serial Number of
the unit in question.
Note: Continuing research results in steady
improvements; therefore, information in this
Operator Manual is subject to change without
notice.

Section 6 Operating Procedures
This unit is a three flavor custard freezer. It has
three 30 quart (28 liter) hoppers. The mix flows by
gravity through an adjustable flow control into the
freezing cylinders. This unit has been designed to
produce a rich tasting custard product that can be
drawn off and served from a holding cabinet. The
overrun is typically 20-25% and varies depending on
the mix formulation and the finished product
temperature (18 to 21°F [-7.8 to -6.1°C]).
We begin our instructions at the point where we find
the parts disassembled and laid out to air dry from
the previous brush cleaning.
The following procedures will show you how to
assemble the parts into the freezer, sanitize them,
and prime the freezer with fresh mix.
If you are disassembling the unit for the first time or
need information to get to this starting point in our
instructions, turn to “Disassembly” on page 32 and
start there.
