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).
