Viper AS5160 Repair at Discount Retail Store in Ruthin
Recently we received a service call from a retailer in North Wales about their Viper AS5160 floor cleaning machine. We were informed by the customer that their machine was leaking dirty water back onto the floor whenever they attempted to use it, which as you can imagine is far from ideal.
The store was located in Ruthin at the southern end of the Vale of Clwyd, which is an exceptionally beautiful part of Denbighshire. The town itself is split into an old and new town and is noted for rich history which dates back to pre-roman Celtic settlers. The town has a variety of monuments and structures including a castle which dates back to 1277 and attracts many tourists to the area, which of course means the local retail industry thrives too.
We find all our customers have high standards when it comes to cleaning and machines like the viper range of floor scrubbers are essential for maintaining large areas of floor space which are constantly becoming dirty from customer footfall.
Upon inspecting the machine, our engineer noticed immediately that the suction bar had been completely dismantled and on top of this, the water filter was blocked. The filter was the likely cause of the dirty water to leaking back out of the machine, rather than making its way through to the recovery tank. Being so familiar with these machines, it was not a problem for him to reassemble the suction bar and clear the blockage in the water filter. Once these tasks had been completed, he then reviewed the machine and replaced the worn suction rubbers with new ones. Once the obvious problems has been rectified he then carried out extensive testing to ensure there were no other issues that needed addressing and then followed that with a demonstration of the machine to show it was back in full working order.
Preventative maintenance is essential for maximising operational availability, so before leaving the store manager was given some instruction on regular maintenance tasks such as keeping the filters clean to prevent blockages and the need to descale parts of the machine.
