HYDRO-FORCE AS08R Injection Sprayer
GENERAL FUNCTION:
The Hydro-Force Revolution injection sprayer is used to quickly, and evenly apply pre-spray, protector and other chemicals over large areas. The Hydro- Force Revolution injection sprayer is unique because you can adjust dilution ratios on the fly by simply turning a knob. The Hydro-Force Revolution injection sprayer can be used at pressures as low as 50 PSI or as high as 1,000 PSI. All Hydro-Force Revolution sprayers are set at the factory to be used at water pressures of 400 P.S.I. but can easily be configured to work at lower pressures by simply changing the knob to a low pres-sure knob (NA0868). See ‘Low Pressure Instructions’ below. Water flow is automatically reduced as it pass-es through the injector valve, thus reducing the pres-sure approximately 64%. To obtain the actual working pressure of your Hydro-Force Revolution injection sprayer, multiply your incoming pressure by 36%.
PRE-SPRAY AND TRAFFIC LANE APPLICATIONS:
Hydro-Force injection sprayers eliminate the has-sles of measuring and mixing. We recommend you keep an extra 5-quart container or two on your truck to make sure you never run out and to facilitate quick changes of your chemical containers. Remember that Hydro-Force sprayers automatically mix at a 1 to 8 ratio. If your 5-quart container is full then that is the same as holding an 11 gallon pump sprayer of regu-lar, ready to use pre-spray.Hydro-Force injection sprayers offer better pene-tration and overall coverage than other sprayers. It is therefore possible to pre-spray your jobs up to 45 minutes before that area needs to be cleaned. An effective way to use the Hydro-Force sprayer for pre-conditioning is to start at the door coming into the house; spraying all the traffic areas, and work your way to the farthest point back in your job. You have then completed your pre-conditioning in just seconds and are prepared to hook up your wand and start cleaning your way out.On larger jobs, or jobs involving more than an hour of cleaning time, it is recommended that you pre-spray an area that will take no longer than 45 minutes to clean. You can then hook up your Hydro-Force again and pre-spray another large area.
APPLICATION OF CARPET PROTECTORS:
This highly profitable procedure is often passed up on many jobs because it is
too big of a ‘hassle’. Operators will not mention the availability of protec-
tors because they are running short on time and must hurry to their next job,
or they don’t want to take the time to rinse tanks then measure, mix and pump
.Hydro-Force injection sprayers bypass these has-sles and encourage you to
apply carpet protectors. Go to your machine, shut off the chemical and, if you
pre-fer, your heat. You should then take a 5 quart contain-er with clean water
(adding an ounce or two of acid or vinegar will help) to your Hydro-Force
injection sprayer unit. Take off your traffic lane bottle and put on clean
water. Run your Hydro-Force injection spray-er for approximately 20 seconds or
until all soap is out of your lines. You may then put on your 5 quart con-
tainer with carpet protector in it. Your product should be concentrated and
diluted at 1 to 8 for application on damp carpet. If this is a difficult
dilution to reach you may remove the metering tip to obtain a 1 to 4 ratio. If
you are using Scotchgard® or a Teflon® prod-uct on dry carpet you should
dilute them 1 to 1 with water before you use them with a Hydro-Force injec-
tion sprayer. Whether you use Maxim™ or another product, you will find that a
5 qt. container will go a long way. 5 qts. diluted 1 to 8, gives you 11
gallons of ready to apply protector. With a coverage rate of 300 square. ft.
per gallon, 5 qts. of protector will cover 3,000 square ft.
Keep in mind that your Hydro-Force injection sprayer is spraying 3 to 4 times
the amount of prod-uct your normal pump sprayer is putting out. This means you
must move quickly to avoid over-applying. Protector should be applied in even,
slightly overlap-ping strokes. You should proceed from the entrance again
working your way toward the farthest point.
LOW-PRESSURE INSTRUCTIONS
Your solution hose pressure affects how much chemical is drawn from the Hydro- Force injection sprayer. Higher pressures decrease the ratio of chemi-cal to water and lower pressures increase the ratio of chemical to water. If you are using pressures ranging from 50 to 200 PSI, you’ll want to install the low pres-sure knob (NA0868) so your dilution ratios are more properly calibrated. We recommend using 100 PSI when using the low pressure knob for the most accu- rate dilution ratios. For those that want to Revolutionize how their spraying is done, the Revo-lution takes efficiency to a new level by allowing cleaners to dial in the ex-act concentration of chemical needed. Cut your spray time in half! Quickly apply presprays, deodorizers, tile and grout cleaning solutions, sanitizers, protectors and more.
