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 an air tube.
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 3
If you are disassembling the machine for the first time
or need information to get to the starting point in our
instructions, turn to page 18, “Disassembly”, and start
there.
Assembly
Note: When lubricating parts, use an approved food
grade lubricant (example: Taylor Lube).
Step 1
To install the beater assembly, slide the small, thick
o-ring into the groove on the drive shaft of the beater
assembly. Apply an even coat of lubricant to the o-ring
and the shaft. DO NOT lubricate the hex end.
Figure 4
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.
