SERVICING YOUR WATERSNAKE ELECTRIC MOTOR

When it’s time for your Watersnake electric motor to be serviced, it is 
recommended you choose to use an Authorised Service Agent such as Anglers’ 
Central Service Centre to perform the service.
Watersnake electric motors are precision instruments that rely on exacting 
alignment of numerous components; it is worth considering taking your 
electric motor to an Authorised Service Agent for servicing.

IMPORTANT!

If you choose to service the electric motor yourself or through any other third 
party not authorised by Watersnake Distribution Pty Ltd to service Watersnake 
motors, the motor will no longer be covered under the normal consumer 
guarantees. Items or issues from that time on and thereafter will be the sole 
responsibility of the owner. It is important to make sure you use good quality 
grease, and remember do not over lubricate. Small amounts of grease in the 
correct places are more important.
