1 - General Information
Congratulations on purchasing the very latest in upholstery cleaning technology.
The patented DriMaster HiFlo Upholstery Tool, shown in Figure 1-1, is perfect for cleaning
upholstery, fabric and stairs. Because of its Jetless Cleaning Technology, it has no trigger

The tool’s new design incorporates
light weight, extremely durable
materials, giving the tool increased
levels of strength and comfort.
The DriMaster HiFlo Upholstery Tool
accommodates high volume jobs
where production rate is important.
It is capable of solution ow rates
for jobs that require a ushing action
which makes the tool particularly
efcient for stair cleaning.
An optional accessory handle, shown attached
to the tool in Figure 1-2, is available to increase
comfort on long cleaning jobs.
We trust that you will enjoy many years of reliable
upholstery cleaning with the DriMaster HiFlo

2-1: Operating Instructions
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 / U.S. Products strongly recommends attending an Institute of
Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certication (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 difcult or extended
repetitious use of the upholstery tool.
Remove the two screws, nuts, and washers1. 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 in2. Figure 2-2. The original shorter screws, nuts,
and washers are used on the upper handle.
Thelonger suppliedscrews, nutsand washers
are used to connect the handle to the tool
body.

Operating Instructions: 2-2
BEGIN CLEANING
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).
Adjust the water volume by turning the solution control knob. Turning the knob
2. counterclockwiseincreases the watervolume; turning theknob 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).

2-3: Operating Instructions
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)
Theamountofvacuumandpressureproduced
by your machine will determine the overspray
on the solution bar jet. The patented solution
bar jet makes a trigger valve unnecessary.
Do not touch the solution bar jet during
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 - Tool Maintenance
REMOVING AND RE-INSTALLING THE CLEAR WINDOW COVER
Remove vacuum hose cuff from1. DriMaster HiFlo Upholstery Tool and disconnect the
solution hose quick connect as shown in Figure 3-1.
Lightly heating the “cuff” with a heat gun will make the cuff easier to remove and
install.
Remove the solution control knob by removing the 8/32” set screw as shown in
2. Figure 3-2.
Loosen, but do not remove, the valve retention nut (see arrow in3. Figure 3-3).
Removeallscrews fromboth sidesofthe tool(see
4. Figure3-3)and carefullyseparate
the tool halves (see Figure 3-4).

Tool Maintenance: 3-2
Slide the clear window cover off of the tool body.5. To re-install the clear window cover, slide it into one6. 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.
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 window7. 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 the1. small slot.
Gently slide the gauge back and forth to
2. clear any debris from the opening (see
Figure 3-6).
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.

30 minutes.
Clean the orice plate’s opening with a wooden 2. skewer or similar tool such as a plastic pick.
Do not use a metal object to clean the opening of the
orice plate; doing so can damage the plate.
Remove both parts from the vinegar and
3. thoroughly rinse them with clear water.

the orice plate in the solution quick connect (see
Figure 3-9), equipment damage could result. Such
equipment damage is not covered by warranty.
