What to do if my Viper SCRUBBER FANG 18C Floor Machine has poor water pick up?

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.
