2 - Operating Instructions
your DriMaster HiFlo Upholstery Tool has been engineered using the latest and most
sophisticated technology available to produce the nest upholstery cleaning results
possible. Despite this, it remains only a tool of the upholstery cleaning trade and can
produce only as a good a job as the person operating it.
HydraMaster strongly recommends attending an Institute of Inspection, Cleaning
and Restoration Certication (IICRC) approved Upholstery Cleaning course as
soon as possible and to always follow the IICrC guidelines when cleaning.
OPTIOnAl ACCESSOrY HAnDlE ASSEMblY
The DriMaster HiFlo Upholstery Tool can be equipped with an optional accessory handle
(purchased separately) to increase comfort and control during difcult or extended
repetitious use of the upholstery tool.
1.
Remove the two screws, nuts, and washers
found on the handle grip portion of the tool
(Figure 2-1). These parts will be reused in
fastening the handle.
Attach the accessory handle as shown in 2.
Figure 2-2. The original shorter screws, nuts,
and washers are used on the upper handle.
The longer supplied screws, nuts and washers
are used to connect the handle to the tool
body.

Solution Control Knob
Solution Quick
Connect
Vac Hose Manifold
Do not use the DriMaster HiFlo Upholstery Tool on a machine exceeding 14” Hg
vacuum and 500 psi solution pressure. personal injury could result.
Attach the solution hose to the solution quick connect. A 1 ½” - 2” vacuum hose can 1.
be attached to the vac hose manifold (see Figure 2-3).
Attach Solution Hose and Adjust Water VolumeFigure 2-3.
2.
Adjust the water volume by turning the solution control knob. Turning the knob
counterclockwise increases the water volume; turning the knob clockwise decreases
the water volume. The amount of water volume you need will vary with the type of
machine you are cleaning with and the type of material you are cleaning.
To begin adjustment, make sure the cleaning machine is running and both vacuum
3.
and solution hoses are connected.
Slowly open the solution control knob until water is owing across the entire bar jet
4.
(without overspray).
Operating Instructions: 2-2
When the solution knob is turned toward the
“HiFlo” position, the water will form a sheet across
the solution bar jet (see Figure 2-4)
The amount of vacuum and pressure produced
by your machine will determine the overspray
on the solution bar jet. The patented solution
bar jet makes a trigger valve unnecessary.
Turning Knob to Figure 2-4.

operation or immediately afterward; doing so
may cause severe burns!
When cleaning stairs, do not allow the tool to come into contact with the tack strip
along the edges of the stairs. The tool’s cleaning surface will be damaged by the
tack strip. equipment damage such as this is not covered by warranty.
It may be necessary to periodically clean the inside of the tool, hose and manifold.
Debris can build up over time, restricting the vacuum ow (see Figure 3-6).

3-1: Tool Maintenance
Slide the clear window cover off of the tool body.5.
To re-install the clear window cover, slide it into one 6.
half of the tool body (see Figure 3-5). Then slide
the other half of the body into the window.
The clear window has grooves on either side that slide
onto the edges of the cutouts in the tool bodies.
Figure 3-5. Slide Cover into
Half of Tool body
The wear plates must be aligned and slid onto the tool halves at the same time
as the cover.
The window cover may come out if not installed properly.
Continue to assemble the two halves of the tool together, with the clear window 7.
being captured in the cutouts. Careful attention must be paid when sliding the two
body halves together.
Re-install the screws.
8.
Tighten the valve retention nut. Do not overtighten.9.
ClEAnIng THE SOlUTIOn bAr JET
The solution bar jet needs to be cleaned with a
.020” feeler gauge.
Slide the feeler gauge into the 1. small slot.
Gently slide the gauge back and forth to
2.
clear any debris from the opening (see
Figure 3-6).
Figure 3-6. Clean Debris from
Opening
Use only a feeler gauge to clean the slot in
the bar jet. Use of any other implement (paper clip, knife blade) may damage the
opening and seriously reduce the cleaning effectiveness of the upholstery tool.
