Taylor 342 - Manual (Page 14)

10 Models 340, 341, 342 Operating Procedures
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 (where it applies) the following
steps for the second side of the Model 342.
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 19, “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
Install the beater drive shaft. 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
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 2
Before installing the beater assembly, check the
scraper blades for any nicks or signs of wear. If any
nicks are present or if the blade is worn, replace both
blades.
