Refrigerant  
Electrical Hook--Up Installation  
(60 Cycle, 1 Ph, Supplied With Cord and Plug)  
This freezer is supplied with a 3--wire cord and  
grounding type plug for connection to a single phase,  
60 cycle, branch circuit supply. This unit must be  
plugged into a properly grounded receptacle. The cord  
and plug provided for 208/230/60/1, is 20A; therefore  
the wall outlet must also be 20A. Check the data label,  
located on the side panel, for electrical specifications.  
In consideration of our environment, Taylor  
proudly 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).  
Permanent wiring may be employed if required by local  
codes. Instructions for conversion to permanent wiring  
are as follows:  
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.  
1. Be sure the freezer is electrically disconnected.  
2. Remove the appropriate panel and locate the  
small electrical box at the base of the freezer.  
3. Remove the factory--installed cord and strain  
relief bushing.  
Use only R134a refrigerant that conforms to  
the AHI standard 700 specification. The use of any  
other refrigerant may expose users and operators to  
unexpected safety hazards.  
4. Route incoming permanent wiring through 7/8”  
(22 mm) hole in base pan.  
5. Connect two power supply leads. Attach ground  
(earth) wire to the grounding lug inside the  
electrical box.  
6. Be sure the unit is properly grounded before  
applying power.  
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.  
Beater Rotation  
Beater rotation must be clockwise as viewed  
looking into the freezing cylinder.  
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.  
Note: The following procedures should be  
performed by a trained service technician.  
To correct rotation on a three--phase unit, interchange  
any two incoming power supply lines at freezer main  
terminal block only. To correct rotation on a  
single--phase unit, change the leads inside the beater  
motor. (Follow diagram printed on motor.)  
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.  
Electrical connections are made directly to the  
terminal block provided in the splice boxes which are  
mounted mid--level on the frame channel on the sides  
of the freezer.

Section 2  
To the Operator  
The Model 161 soft serve freezer has been carefully  
engineered and manufactured to give you dependable  
operation.  
For additional information regarding applicable local  
laws, please contact the municipal facility and/or local  
distributor.  
This unit, when properly operated and cared for, will  
produce  
a
consistent quality product. Like all  
mechanical products, it 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.  
Compressor Warranty Disclaimer  
This Operator’s Manual should be read before  
operating or performing any maintenance on your  
equipment.  
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.  
The Model 161 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, both assembly and  
disassembly, go through 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: Warranty is valid only if the parts are authorized  
Taylor parts, purchased from an authorized Taylor  
Distributor, and the required service work is provided  
by an authorized Taylor service technician. Taylor  
reserves the right to deny warranty claims on  
equipment or parts if non--approved parts or  
refrigerant were installed in the machine, system  
modifications were performed beyond factory  
recommendations, or it is determined that the failure  
was caused by neglect or abuse.  
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.  
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 Taylor Company 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.  
The user is responsible for returning the product to the  
appropriate collection facility, as specified by your local  
code.

Power Switch  
WASH Key  
When the WASH key is pressed, the light comes on.  
This indicates beater motor operation. The STANDBY  
or AUTO modes must be cancelled first to activate the  
WASH mode.  
When placed in the ON position, the power switch  
allows Softecht control panel operation.  
AUTO Key  
MIX REF  
When the AUTO key is pressed, the light comes on.  
This indicates that the main refrigeration system has  
been activated. In the AUTO mode, the WASH or  
STANDBY functions are automatically cancelled. The  
MIX REF function is automatically locked in to  
maintain the temperature of the mix in the mix hopper.  
When the MIX REF key is pressed, the light comes on  
indicating the mix hopper refrigeration system is  
operating. MIX REF is controlled by the left side of the  
freezer as viewed from the operator end. The MIX REF  
function cannot be cancelled unless the AUTO or  
STANDBY modes are cancelled first.  
Note: An indicating light and an audible tone will  
sound whenever a mode of operation has been  
pressed. To cancel any function, press the key again.  
The light and mode of operation will shut off.  
STANDBY Key  
Indicator Light -- MIX LOW  
The Separate Hopper Refrigeration System (SHR)  
and the Cylinder Temperature Retention System  
(CTR) are standard features on Softecht machines.  
The SHR incorporates the use of a separate small  
refrigeration system. This maintains the mix in the  
hopper below 40_(4.4_C) to assure bacteria control.  
The CTR works with the SHR to maintain a good  
quality product. During long “No Sale” periods, it is  
necessary to warm the product in the freezing cylinder  
to approximately 35_F to 40_F (1.7_C to 4.4_C) to  
prevent over--beating and product breakdown.  
Located on the front of the machine is a mix level  
indicating light. When the light is flashing, it indicates  
that the mix hopper has a low supply of mix and should  
be refilled as soon as possible. Always maintain at  
least 3” (76 mm) of mix in the hopper. If you neglect to  
add mix, a freeze--up may occur. This will cause  
eventual damage to the beater, blades, drive shaft,  
and freezer door.  
Reset Button  
To activate the SHR and CTR, press the STANDBY  
key. Place the end of the feed tube without the hole into  
the mix inlet hole.  
The reset button is located on the front of the unit. The  
reset protects the beater motor from an overload  
condition. If an overload occurs, the reset mechanism  
will trip. To properly reset the freezer, press the AUTO  
key to cancel the cycle. Turn the power switch to the  
OFF position. Press the reset button firmly.  
When the STANDBY key is pressed, the light comes  
on, indicating the CTR (Cylinder Temperature  
Retention System) has been activated. In the  
STANDBY mode, the WASH and AUTO functions are  
automatically cancelled. The MIX REF function is  
automatically locked in to maintain the mix in the  
hopper.  
Warning: Do not use metal objects to  
press the reset button. Failure to comply may  
result in severe personal injury or death.  
To resume normal operation, press the AUTO key.  
When the unit cycles off, the product in the freezing  
cylinder will be at serving viscosity. At this time, place  
the orifice end of the feed tube into the mix inlet hole.  
Install the air orifice.  
Turn the power switch to the ON position. Press the  
WASH key and observe the freezer’s performance.  
Open the side access panel. Make sure the beater  
motor is turning the drive shaft in a clockwise direction  
(from the operator end) without binding.

Feed Tube  
2. During long “No Sale” periods, remove the feed  
tube. Place the end of the feed tube without the  
orifice into the mix inlet hole. This will prevent  
any mix from entering the freezing cylinder.  
The feed tube serves two purposes. One end of the  
tube has an orifice (hole) and the other end does not.  
The feed tube maintains overrun and allows  
enough mix to enter the freezing cylinder after a  
draw.

Operating Procedures  
The Model 161 is a soft serve counter model with a  
three spout door. Two individual flavors are available  
from the end spouts, and an equal combination of both  
is dispensed through the center spout to create a twist  
effect. It has a 1.5 quart (1.4 liter) capacity freezing  
cylinder. The mix flows by gravity from the hopper to  
the freezing cylinder through a feed tube.  
Assembly  
Note: When lubricating parts, use an approved food  
grade lubricant (example: Taylor Lube).  
Step 1  
Lubricate the groove on the beater drive shaft. Withthe  
opening of the cup seal facing away from the hex end,  
slide the seal into the groove. Apply an even coat of  
lubricant to the seal and the shaft. Do not  
lubricate the hex end of the beater drive shaft.  
Duplicate the procedures where they apply for the  
second freezing cylinder.  
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 machine, sanitize them,  
and prime the machine with fresh mix in preparation to  
serve your first portion.  
Figure 7  
Step 2  
Insert the beater assembly through the rear shell  
bearing at the back of the freezing cylinder and engage  
the hex end firmly into the female socket. When  
properly seated, the beater will not protrude beyond  
the front of the freezing cylinder.

Step 3  
Note: If the drip pan was 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  
properly lubricated.  
From the freezer door, remove design caps, pivot pins,  
draw handles, and draw valves. Remove all o--rings.  
Note: To remove o--rings, use a single service 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 6  
Thoroughly brush clean all disassembled parts in the  
cleaning solution. Make sure all lubricant and mix film  
is removed. Take particular care to brush clean the  
draw valve cores in the freezer door. Place all the  
cleaned parts on a clean, dry surface to air dry  
overnight.

Important: Operator Checklist  
j 5. IF LOCAL HEALTH CODES PERMIT THE  
During Cleaning and Sanitizing  
USE OF RERUN, make sure the mix rerun is  
stored in a sanitized, covered stainless steel  
container and is used the following day. DO  
NOT prime the machine with rerun. When using  
rerun, skim off the foam and discard. Mix the  
rerun with fresh mix in a ratio of 50/50 during the  
day’s operation.  
ALWAYS FOLLOW LOCAL HEALTH CODES.  
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.  
j 6. 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 and coliform counts.  
j 7. 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.  
j 8. The temperature of the mix in the mix hopper  
and walk--in cooler should be below 40_F.  
(4.4_C.).  
CLEANING AND SANITIZING MUST BE  
PERFORMED DAILY.  
Troubleshooting Bacterial Count  
Regular Maintenance Checks  
j 1. Thoroughly clean and sanitize the machine  
regularly, including complete disassembly and  
brush cleaning.  
j 1. Check the rear shell bearing for signs of wear  
(excessive mix leakage in rear drip pan) and be  
certain it is properly cleaned.  
j 2. Use all brushes supplied for thorough cleaning.  
The brushes are specially designed to reach all  
mix passageways.  
j 2. 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.  
j 3. 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.  
j 3. Dispose of o--rings or seals if they are worn,  
torn, or fit too loosely, and replace with new  
ones.  
j 4. 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.  
j 4. Follow all lubricating procedures as outlined in  
“Assembly”.

j 5. If your machine is air cooled, check the  
condenser for an 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. Never use  
screwdrivers or other metal probes to clean  
between the fins.  
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.  
Note: For machines equipped with an air filter,  
it will be necessary to vacuum clean the filters  
on a monthly schedule.  
Disconnect the freezer from the main power source to  
prevent possible electrical damage.  
CAUTION: Always disconnect elec-  
trical power prior to cleaning the condens-  
er. Failure to follow this instruction may result in  
electrocution.  
On water cooled freezers, disconnect the water  
supply. Relieve pressure on the spring in the water  
valve. Use air pressure on the outlet side to blow out  
any water remaining in the condenser. This is  
extremely important. Failure to follow this procedure  
may cause severe and costly damage to the  
refrigeration system.  
j 6. If your machine is equipped with an auxiliary  
refrigeration system, check the auxiliary  
condenser for accumulation of dirt and lint. A  
dirty condenser will reduce the refrigeration  
capacity of the mix hopper. Condensers must  
be cleaned monthly with a soft brush. Never  
use screwdrivers or other metal probes to clean  
between the fins. Failure to comply may result  
in electrocution.  
Your local Taylor distributor can perform this servicefor  
you.  
Wrap detachable parts of the freezer such as the  
beater assembly and freezer door, and place them 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 accumulations  
which attract mice and other vermin.  
j 7. If your machine is water cooled, check the water  
lines for kinks or leaks. Kinks can occur when  
the machine is moved back and forth for clean-  
ing or maintenance purposes. Deteriorated or  
cracked water lines should be replaced only by  
an authorized Taylor mechanic.
