1 - General Information
Congratulations on purchasing the very latest in upholstery cleaning technology.
The patented HydraMaster DriMaster™ HiFlo Upholstery Tool, shown in Figure 1-1, takes
the performance and technology of the original DriMaster Upholstery Tool to a whole new
level.*
Figure 1-1. DriMaster™HiFLo Upholstery Tool
The new tool is designed of lightweight, extremely durable modern materials, giving it new
levels of both strength and comfort. It accommodates high volume jobs where production
rate is important. An optional accessory handle, shown attached to the tool in Figure 1-2,
is available to increase comfort on long cleaning jobs.

1-2: General Information
The DriMaster HiFlo Upholstery Tool is capable of greatly increased solution ow rates for
jobs that require a ushing action which also makes the tool efcient for stair cleaning.
Keep in mind that although the solution ow rate has greatly increased for the DriMaster
HiFlo, this tool will still leave the upholstery drier than any other tool on the market by
turning down the ow rate to equal that of the original DriMaster Upholstery Tool.
Do not allow the tool to come into contact with the tack strip, as the cleaning surface will
be damaged by the tack strip along the edges of the stairs.
We trust that you will enjoy many years of reliable upholstery cleaning with our
new tool. If you have any questions please contact your local HydraMaster dealer
or call HydraMaster Sales or Customer Service at 800-426-1301.

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 only produce
results that are equal to the skills and care used by the person operating it.
HydraMaster 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 HiFlo 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.
2. Attach the accessory handle as shown in
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.

2-2 - Tool Operation
Begin Cleaning
1. Attach the solution hose to the Solution Quick Connect. A 1 ½” vacuum hose can
be attached to the Vac Hose Manifold (see Figure 2-3).
2. Adjust the water volume by turning the Solution Control Knob (see Figure 2-3).
By turning the knob counterclockwise, the water volume will increase. By turning
the knob clockwise, the water volume will decrease. 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 machine is running, and both vacuum and so-
lution hoses are connected. Slowly open the Solution Control Knob until water
is owing across the entire bar jet (without overspray).
Do not use the DriMaster HiFlo Upholstery Tool on a machine set above 14” Hg vacuum
and 500 psi solution pressure.

2-3 - Tool Operation
Note: The amount of vacuum and pressure produced by your machine will determine
the amount of overspray from the Solution Bar Jet. The patented Solution Bar Jet
makes a trigger valve unnecessary.
When the Solution Control Knob is turned toward the “HiFlo” position, the water will form
a sheet across the Solution Bar Jet.
Be careful not to touch the Solution Bar Jet; it may cause severe burns!
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
3 - Tool Maintenance
Removing and Reinstalling the Clear
Window Cover
1. Remove vacuum hose cuff from tool and
disconnect the solution hose quick connect as
shown in Figure 3-1.
Note: Lightly heating the “cuff” with a hair
dryer will make it easier to remove and install.
2. Remove the knob by removing the 8/32” Allen
head screw as shown in Figure 3-2.
Figure 3-2. Remove Solution
Control Knob
3. Remove all screws from both sides of the tool (Figure 3-3) and carefully separate
the tool halves (Figure 3-4).

3-2 - Tool Maintenance
4. Slide the clear window cover off of the tool
body.
5. To reinstall the clear window, slide it into one
half of the tool body (Figure 3-5). Then slide the
other half of the body onto the window.
Note: 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 half at the same time as the
cover.
The window cover may come out if not installed properly.
6. Continue to assemble the two halves of the tool together, with the clear window
being captured in the cutouts. Careful attention must be paid when sliding the two
body halves together.
7. Reinstall the screws using Loctite® 222.

3-3 - Tool Maintenance
Cleaning the Solution Bar Jet
The solution bar jet needs to be cleaned with a .020” feeler gauge.
Slide the feeler gauge into the small
slot. Gently slide the gauge back and
forth to clear any debris from the opening
(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 DriMaster
tool.
