Model 104
Section 6 Operating Procedures
The Model 104 is a small 3 quart (2.9 liter) capacity ice
cream freezer. It has been designed to produce a rich
tasting, nominal overrun ice cream pr oduct that can b e
drawn off and placed in a hardening cabinet or flash
freezer. Overrun can be varied depending on mix
formulation, amount of pre--charge, and finished
product temperature.
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, s anitize them, and
prime the freezer with fresh mix to prepare the first
batch.
If you are disassembling the machine for the f irst 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 personal
injury or component damage.

Step 2
Install the drive shaft. Lubricate the groove and shaft
portion that comes in contact with the bearing on the
beater drive shaft. Slide the seal over the shaft and
groove until it snaps into place. DO NOT lubricate the
hex end of the drive shaft. Partially fill the inside portion
of the seal with additional lubricant. Lubricate the flat
side of the s eal that comes in contact with the bearing.

Insert the drive shaft through the rear s hell bearing and
engage the hex end firmly into the gear box coupling.
Be certain that the drive shaft fits into the coupling
without binding.
