  If your Viper Floor Machine isn't picking up water well, several issues could be the cause. * The squeegee might be clogged; clean it with a damp towel. * The squeegee blades may be worn, requiring replacement. * The squeegee might not be mounted correctly, so ensure it's securely fastened. * Check for holes or looseness in the vacuum hoses, tightening connections or replacing the hose if damaged. * The vacuum hose could be clogged; remove any debris. * Ensure the drain hose stopper is tight, and the vacuum motor mounting screws are snug (but not overtightened). * Confirm the recovery tank lid is secure and that the tank isn't full, emptying it if necessary. * Lastly, the float shut off might be clogged; remove it from the recovery tank and clear any debris.

  If your Viper Floor Machine has little or no solution flow, the cause might be a bad ball valve or solution valve. Another possible cause is the ball valve position needing adjustment. Ensure the ball valve is in a horizontal position for maximum solution flow.
