interchanging any two incoming power supply lines at  
the freezer main terminal block only.  
Correct rotation on a single- phase unit by changing  
the leads inside the beater motor. (Follow the diagram  
printed on the motor.)  
Taylor reminds technicians to be aware of and  
in compliance with local government laws regarding  
refrigerant recovery, recycling, and reclaiming  
systems. For information regarding applicable local  
laws, please contact your local authorized Taylor  
distributor.  
Electrical connections are made directly to the  
terminal block. The terminal block is provided in the  
splice boxes located behind the left and right side  
panels.  
Refrigerant  
WARNING: R404A refrigerants used in  
conjunction with polyolester oils are 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.  
In consideration of our environment, Taylor  
uses only 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.

To the Operator  
The freezer you have purchased has been carefully  
engineered and manufactured to give you dependable  
operation. The Taylor Model 5454, when properly  
operated and cared for, will produce a consistent  
quality product. Like all mechanical products, this  
machine 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.  
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.  
This Operator’s Manual should be read before  
operating or performing any maintenance on your  
equipment.  
Your Model 5454 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 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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Note: Constant research results in steady  
improvements; therefore, information in this  
manual is subject to change without notice.  
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.  
If the crossed out wheeled bin symbol is  
affixed to this product, it signifies that this product is

Symbol Definitions  
Indicator Lights -  
Mix Low and Mix Out  
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.  
When the MIX LOW light begins to flash, it indicates  
that the mix tank has a low supply of mix and should  
be refilled as soon as possible. When the MIX OUT  
light begins to flash, it indicates that the mix tank has  
an insufficient supply of mix to operate the freezer. At  
this time, the AUTO mode is locked out and the freezer  
shuts down. To initiate the refrigeration system, add  
mix to the tank and press the AUTO keypad. The  
freezer will automatically begin operation.  
The following chart identifies the symbol definitions  
used on the operator switches.  
= ON/AUTO  
= OFF  
Mix  
= WASH  
= PUMP  
When the MIX keypad is pressed, the light comes on,  
indicating that the mix cabinet refrigeration system is  
operating. The mix refrigeration is controlled by the  
MIX keypad found on the control panel. By pressing  
the AUTO keypad, the MIX function is automatically  
turned on. The MIX function cannot be cancelled  
unless the AUTO mode is cancelled.  
= MIX LOW  
= MIX OUT  
Power Switch  
Wash  
When placed in the ON position, the power switch  
allows “SOFTECH” control panel operation.  
When the WASH keypad is pressed, the light comes  
on, indicating beater motor operation. The AUTO  
mode must be cancelled first to activate the WASH  
mode.  
Reset Mechanism  
The reset button is located in the upper, left corner of  
the decorative plate. The reset protects the beater  
motor from an overload condition. Should an overload  
occur, the reset mechanism will trip. To properly reset  
the freezer, turn the power switch to the OFF position.  
Press the reset button firmly. Place the power switch  
in the ON position. Press the WASH keypad and  
observe the freezer’s performance. Open the side  
access panel to check if the beater motor is turning the  
drive shaft in a clockwise (from operator end) direction  
without binding.  
If the drive shaft is turning properly, press the WASH  
keypad to cancel the cycle. Press the AUTO keypad  
to resume normal operation. If the reset mechanism  
should trip again, contact your authorized Taylor  
Distributor to resolve the problem.

Auto  
Liquid Valve Body Removal Tool  
When the AUTO keypad is pressed, the light comes on  
indicating that the main refrigeration system has been  
activated. In the AUTO mode, the WASH function is  
automatically cancelled. The MIX function is  
automatically locked in to maintain the mix in the  
cabinet and the PUMP function is locked in to allow  
coaxial air/mix pump operation as required.  
Figure 2  
Pump  
This tool was designed to help remove the liquid valve  
body from the pump cylinder. Remove the suction line,  
the flare line, the retaining pin and the mix inlet fitting  
from the pump cylinder. Turn the air/mix pump  
assembly upside down. Insert the curved end under  
the edge of the liquid valve body and pull down as  
shown in the illustration below.  
When the PUMP keypad is pressed, the light comes  
on indicating that the coaxial air/mix pump will operate  
as required.  
Note: An indicating light and an audible tone will  
sound whenever a mode of operation has been  
pressed. To cancel any function, press the keypad  
again and the mode of operation will discontinue.  
Thermistor Control  
The product temperature is adjusted by means of a  
thermistor control. Located just above the freezer door  
is the thermistor control knob. Turning the adjusting  
knob clockwise will decrease product temperature and  
counterclockwise will increase the temperature. Each  
half turn will vary the temperature approximately two  
degrees. Allow the refrigeration system to cycle on and  
off two or three times before the adjusted temperature  
can be evaluated.  
Figure 3  
This will enable you to easily pull the liquid valve body  
out of the pump cylinder. To remove the piston, push  
down from the top end of the pump cylinder. To prevent  
breakage, do not allow the piston to fall free.

Step 7  
Once the stream of mix stops flowing from the bleed  
port, push down the prime plug. Rinse the prime plug  
hole area with water; then remove the pail and discard  
the mix and sanitizer.  
Syrup System  
Two main objectives in your opening procedures must  
be to:  
A. fill the syrup tanks, and  
B. calibrate the syrup flow.  
These conditions must be checked daily to insure the  
high quality shake you desire.  
Discard syrup weekly and flush the syrup lines at least  
once a week. This will prevent syrup from clogging the  
lines and will break the bacteria chain. See page 34 to  
sanitize the syrup system.  
The syrup tanks can be put in a separate compartment  
that can be placed behind the freezer or to the side.  
The air lines and syrup lines are color spiral wrapped.  
Be sure to match the color wrapped air and syrup line  
to the correct flavor syrup tank.  
Figure 51  
Note: To maintain proper calibration, vanilla and  
strawberry syrup lines use restrictors at the syrup tank  
quick disconnect connections. Use only single  
strength syrup that is free of pulp and seeds.  
Step 8  
Press the AUTO keypad. The MIX light will illuminate,  
indicating that the mix refrigeration system is  
operating. The AUTO light will illuminate, indicating  
that the main refrigeration system is operating. The  
PUMP light will illuminate, indicating that the air/mix  
pump will operate whenever mix is needed in the  
freezing cylinder.  
Unscrew the quick disconnect from the elbow portion  
of the syrup line. Make sure the o- ring rests on the end  
of the quick disconnect fitting. Place the restrictor on  
top of the o- ring and screw the quick disconnect back  
onto the syrup line.

Step 1  
Replace the tank lid and match the spiral wrapped air  
and syrup lines to the syrup tank. Connect the lines to  
the tank.  
Filling the syrup tanks. Pull back the collar of the air  
line quick disconnect fittings. Allow the air pressure to  
dissipate from the syrup tanks. Disconnect the syrup  
lines.  
Caution: Make sure you disengage the air line before  
you disengage the syrup line.  
Figure 55  
Repeat this step for all syrup tanks.  
Note: Refer to page 34 for sanitizing syrup tanks.  
Step 2  
Calibrating the syrup flow: To obtain a quality  
shake, it is vital that the correct amount of syrup be  
incorporated into the mix. The cause of overly thin  
shakes is often too much syrup. The cause of overly  
thick shakes is often too little syrup.  
Figure 53  
Remove the syrup tanks from their compartment.  
Remove the syrup tank lid by lifting the locking lever.  
Fill the tank with syrup to the indicating mark on the  
label. IMPORTANT: Do not overfill the tanks.  
To determine the rate of syrup flow, you will need a  
syrup sampler and a calibrating cup indicating the  
ounces of liquid. Generally, the proper rate of syrup  
flow is 1 ounce (29.6 ml) of syrup in 5 seconds. Once  
this rate is set, the correct amount of syrup will be  
blended with the shake base regardless of the size of  
shake served.  
Figure 54

Install the syrup sampler to the fitting on one of the  
syrup lines.  
Hold the calibrating cup under the syrup sampler.  
Press the syrup sampler and time the rate of syrup flow  
for five (5) seconds; then release. If the amount of  
syrup received is 1 ounce (29.6 ml), the syrup is  
properly calibrated.  
Figure 59  
Figure 57  
Step 3  
Adjusting the syrup pressure: If the amount of  
syrup received is less than 1 ounce (29.6 ml), the syrup  
pressure must be increased. If the amount received is  
more than 1 ounce (29.6 ml), the pressure must be  
decreased.  
Hold an empty cup beneath the exit point of the syrup  
sampler. Press the quick disconnect fitting into the  
syrup sampler. This will bleed any air pockets from the  
syrup lines. Continue to press the syrup sampler until  
a steady stream of syrup is flowing into the cup.  
An air pressure manifold with individual regulators is  
supplied to control the amount of pressure to each tank  
and syrup line.

If less than 1 ounce (29.6 ml) of syrup is received, the  
pressure must be increased. Raise the locking nut and  
turn the adjusting screw clockwise. Push down the  
locking nut.  
Match the syrup line to the color coded draw handles  
and begin to attach the fittings of the syrup lines to the  
syrup ports of the freezer door. The flat side of the  
syrup line fitting should be aligned with the pin in the  
syrup port at a 90_ angle.  
Figure 61  
If more than 1 ounce (29.6 ml) of syrup is received, the  
pressure must be decreased. Raise the locking nut  
and turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise to  
zero. Remove the air supply fitting to the syrup  
tank to allow the pressure in the tank to dissipate.  
Figure 63  
Rotate the syrup line fitting downward to lock it into  
place.  
Reconnect the air supply fitting. Adjust the regulator to  
the new pressure setting and recheck the syrup  
calibration. Lower the locking nut to lock the regulator  
into its fixed position.  
Step 4  
Prime the syrup lines by holding a cup beneath the  
door spout and draw off 1/2 a shake from each nozzle.  
Discard this product.  
Repeat the calibration procedures for each syrup line.

Step 6  
Sanitizing the Syrup System  
Two main objectives in your closing procedures must  
be to:  
Return to the freezer with a small amount of cleaning  
solution. With the black bristle brush, brush clean the  
rear shell bearing at the rear of the freezing cylinder.  
A. Discard all syrup at least once a week.  
B. Flush the syrup lines at least once a week.  
These steps must be performed on a regular basis to  
keep old syrup accumulation from clogging the lines,  
and to break the bacteria chain which develops in the  
tanks and lines. Remember: Calibrating the syrup flow  
must be performed every morning, especially after  
flushing the syrup lines.  
Step 1  
Sanitizing the syrup tanks. Pull back on the collar  
of the air line quick disconnect fitting. Allow the air  
pressure to dissipate from the syrup tank. Disconnect  
the syrup line.  
Figure 66  
Remove the syrup tank from its compartment.  
Remove the syrup tank lid by lifting up on the locking  
lever. Discard the remaining syrup.  
Step 7  
Using the long, flexible brush and cleaning solution,  
clean the mix inlet tube located in the mix cabinet.  
Thoroughly clean this tube all the way up to the  
freezing cylinder. This area needs special attention  
because bacteria and milkstone can accumulate here.  
Rinse the syrup tank with clean, warm water.  
Prepare one- half gallon (1.9 liters) of an approved 100  
PPM sanitizing solution with warm water in the syrup  
tank. Brush clean the inside and outside of the tank.  
Using an adjustable wrench, remove the syrup line  
fitting from each tank. Remove the dip tube and o- ring  
from the syrup tank.  
Figure 67  
Step 8  
Wipe clean all exterior surfaces of the freezer and mix  
cabinet.

Using the sanitizing water, thoroughly brush clean the  
dip tube, syrup line fitting, and o- ring. Reassemble the  
dip tube, o- ring and syrup line fitting.  
Place the power switch in the ON position. This will  
activate the air compressor to supply pressure to the  
syrup system.  
Attach the syrup sampler to the first syrup line. Press  
the syrup sampler into an empty mix pail. This will  
cause syrup residue to be forced out into the pail.  
Pour off all the sanitizing solution. Air dry the tank by  
placing it in an upside- down position on a clean, dry  
surface.  
When full strength sanitizing solution is flowing from  
the syrup line, release the syrup sampler.  
Repeat this procedure for all the syrup tanks.  
Step 2  
Clear the syrup line of any remaining sanitizer by  
turning the syrup tank (with the sanitizing solution)  
upside- down and pressing the syrup sampler into the  
mix pail. Release the syrup sampler and return the  
syrup tank right side up.  
Sanitizing the syrup lines. Prepare one gallon (3.8  
liters) of an approved 100 PPM sanitizing solution with  
warm water in the spare syrup tank. Replace and lock  
the tank lid into position. Place this tank in the syrup  
compartment.  
Repeat this procedure for all the syrup lines.  
Place the power switch in the OFF position.  
Connect one of the air lines and one of the syrup lines  
to the syrup tank filled with sanitizing solution.

Section 7  
Important: Operator Checklist  
During Cleaning and Sanitizing  
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.  
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 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. Empty all syrup from the tanks and discard at  
least once a week.  
j 9. Thoroughly clean and sanitize the syrup lines at  
least once a week.  
j10. The temperature of mix in the mix cabinet and  
the 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 machine  
regularly, including complete disassembly and  
brush cleaning.  
j 1. Rotate the scraper blades to allow both sides of  
the knife edge to wear evenly. This will  
contribute to self- sharpening and help maintain  
fast, efficient freezing.  
j 2. Use all brushes supplied for thorough cleaning.  
The brushes are specially designed to reach all  
mix passageways.  
j 2. Replace the scraper blades that are nicked or  
damaged. Before installing the beater, be  
certain that scraper blades are properly  
attached over the pins.  
j 3. Use the white bristle brush to clean the mix feed  
tube which extends from the mix cabinet up to  
the rear of the freezing cylinder.  
j 3. Check the rear shell bearing for signs of wear  
(excessive mix leakage in rear drip tray) and be  
certain it is properly cleaned.  
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. Using a screwdriver and cloth towel, keep the  
rear shell bearings and the female hex drive  
sockets clean and free of lubricant and mix  
deposits.  
j 5. 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.  
j 5. Dispose of o- rings and seals if they are worn,  
torn, or fit too loosely, and replace them with  
new ones.  
j 6. Follow all lubricating procedures as outlined in  
“Assembly”.  
080911

j 7. On air cooled units, check the condenser(s) for  
accumulation of dirt and lint. Dirty condensers  
will reduce the efficiency and capacity of the  
machine. Condensers should be cleaned  
monthly with a soft brush.  
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 to be left unheated and 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.  
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.  
Never use screwdrivers or other  
metal probes to clean between the fins.  
j 8. On water cooled units, check the water lines for  
kinks or leaks. Kinks can occur when the  
machine is moved back and forth for cleaning or  
maintenance purposes. Deteriorated or  
cracked water lines should be replaced by an  
authorized Taylor mechanic.  
Your local Taylor Distributor can perform this service  
for you.  
Wrap the detachable parts of the freezer such as  
beater, blades, drive shaft, and freezer door, and place  
them in a protected, dry place. Rubber trim parts and  
gaskets can be protected by wrapping with  
moisture- proof paper. All parts should be thoroughly  
cleaned of dried mix or lubrication accumulations  
which attract mice and other vermin.  
The Air/Mix Pump Checklist  
j 1. Dispose of o- rings and check bands if they are  
worn, torn, or fit too loosely, and replace them  
with new ones.  
j 2. Follow lubricating procedures carefully. NEVER  
lubricate check bands.  
j 3. Handle plastic pump parts with care to avoid  
nicks and cracks.  
j 4. Be sure the spring and poppet fit securely over  
the mix inlet fitting.  
j 5. Be sure the air/mix pump is properly aligned  
with the face plate of the motor reducer, or  
severe and costly damage may occur.
