Proportioning Valve
Chemical Feed Hose
• Pour up to 12 gallons of hot water into the solution tank at the front of the machine. The water
temperature cannot exceed 130°°°°F.
• Measure and add the appropriate amount of the desired liquid chemical to the water in the solution tank.
The amount of chemical will vary depending on the type of chemical used, the amount of water in the
tank, and the material being cleaned; consult the chemical packaging for specific mixture ratios.
• Powdered chemicals should be dissolved in water before adding to the water in the solution tank.
Pour appropriate amount of hot water into
Add appropriate amount of chemical to water
2B. Water Supply & Chemical Dilution – Optional Auto-Fill System:
• The chemical dilution rate is controlled by the metering tip, and the dilution rate can only be changed by
changing the metering tip (See “How to Change the Metering Tip” on Page 10 for instructions.)
Chemical Feed Setup:
• Remove the chemical feed hose from the solution tank.
• Place the end of the hose into a container of liquid chemical.
• If the tip is removed, and the proportioning system operated with no tip, the dilution rate will be 8:1 (the
equivalent to adding 16-1/4oz of chemical to each gallon of water.)
• The standard tip used with the M100 is the turquoise tip with a dilution rate of 256:1. This means that for
each gallon of water flowing into the machine, 1/2 ounce of chemical will be added.
• If a fresh water rinse with no chemical is desired, simply leave the chemical feed hose inside the
solution tank.
How to Change the Metering Tip:

Metering Tip Kit – PDE001
Metering Tip Kit (Hydro-Force Item# PDE001) contains 14 different colored metering tips, allowing
dilution rates from 11:1 up to 427:1. Refer to the chart below to select the tip that meets the dilution rate for
your chemical application.
• For example: if you require 1-1/2 ounces of chemical per gallon of water, change to the red metering tip
with the dilution rate of 85:1.
• The dilution rates are based on chemicals with water-like viscosity. Thicker (more viscous) chemicals will
dilute at a different rate.
• For powdered chemicals, a liquid concentrate must be made. Mix the concentrate according to the
manufacturer’s directions, and then select the appropriate metering tip.
• Contact your distributor or Hydro-Force if you have questions about your chemical.

3. Connection of Solution Hose:
Connect the high pressure solution hose to the solution outlet (female quick connect on the front of the
machine). Connect the other end of the hose to the male quick connect on the cleaning tool. When you are
ready to start cleaning, turn the solution pump switch to the ON position The Flojet solution pump, standard
on the M100 is self priming and usually additional priming procedures are not required.
If the pump does not prime by itself, or if flow is low or unsteady, check the hose from the solution tank to
the pump (as well as the inline filter) for clogging, kinks, or restrictions. Clean or replace hose and/or filter
and repeat the priming procedure. Check the jets and filters on the wand or other tool for flow restrictions
that can affect priming.
If you are having trouble with the pump, refer to the trouble shooting guide or contact your distributor for
advice or assistance.

5. Optional Auto Pump-out System - Connection of Pump-out Hose:
The pump-out hose is a 50’ section of 3/4” garden hose.
• Remove the cap from the pump-out outlet fitting on the back of the machine.
• Connect the pump-out hose to the outlet fitting.
• Place the other end of the hose in a commode or drain connected to the sanitary sewer system.
• Secure hose end to prevent movement during pumping.
Use defoamer to prevent foam build-up in recovery tank during cleaning and to keep foam/moisture
from entering vacuums.
When ready to begin cleaning, turn the waste pump switch to the ON position.
• Do not turn on waste pump switch unless pump-out hose is connected and has been routed
to a proper drain.

recovery tank. Place the other end of the pump-out
hose in a sanitary drain.
5A. Waste Tank Shutoff:
If not equipped with an Auto Pump-out System or not using the waste pump-out, the pump-out hose does
not need to be connected. When the recovery tank fills during cleaning, the float ball assembly in the vacuum
inlet filter will rise and will automatically shut off the vacuum air flow to prevent the recovery tank from
overfilling and waste water from getting into the vacuums. When this occurs:
• Immediately shut off the vacuum switches.
• Drain the recovery tank.
o Turn off the pump switch while draining the tank.
o Turn pump switch back upon resumption of cleaning.
• Close the drain valve and turn the vacuum switches back on when ready to resume cleaning.
If the pump-out or vacuum shutoff is not working properly, refer to the trouble shooting guide or contact
your distributor for advice or assistance.

6. Pressure Adjustment:
The pressure of the M100 is not adjustable. The pump controls the pressure internally and has a pressure
switch that shuts the pump off when the tool is not being sprayed and the pressure builds up past 120psi. The
maximum pump pressure is 120psi, but the actual pressure attained is dependent on the amount of water flow
at the tool. The wand jets included with the M100 carpet wand were selected to deliver the optimum balance
between flow and pressure from the solution pump.
The only way to change the water flow and pressure delivered to the surface being cleaned is to change the
jets. If you feel the need to change the jets:
• Smaller jets and lower flow will allow for higher pressure at the tool. (Up to 120psi.)
• Larger jets and higher flow will lower the pressure attained at the tool.
The number found on the face of the jet, such as 8006, 9505 or 11004, states the size and shape of the jet
orifice. The first two or in some cases three numbers (80, 95 & 110) represent the spray angle. The last two or
in some cases three numbers (06, 05 & 04) represent the orifice size. The orifice size number represents the
flow through that jet at 40psi in tenths of a gallon per minute. Thus a small orifice such as 04 will flow
0.40gpm at 40psi. A larger orifice such as 06 will flow 0.60gpm at 40psi. (See chart below.)
Different jets with the same spray angle (8001, 8003 & 8004) can have different orifice sizes.
Different jets with the same orifice size (80015, 95015 & 110015) can have different spray angles.
Using a jet that is too small may cause the pump to pulsate or cycle by causing the pressure switch to engage
while the tool is being sprayed. If this occurs, replace the jet with a larger jet or contact your distributor for
advice or assistance.
Choose the jets that will meet the flow rate at your desired pressure and have the spray pattern suited to your
tool and type of cleaning. (The maximum flow rate of the M100 AP120 pump is 1.30gpm.)
If maintaining pressure becomes a problem, refer to the trouble shooting guide or contact your distributor for
advice or assistance.
