Moreover, the connecting elements for the control motors supplied as a spare part are no longer pre-assembled

.
The control motors and the corresponding connecting elements are different. However, the differences are so small in some cases that they cannot always be recognised at first glance. If a version other than the intended control motor or connecting element is installed, this usually only leads to problems during subsequent basic setting
