8.2 Extraordinary Maintenance
If damaged components need to be replaced (for example, fuses, SPD, etc.) only use materials identical to those originally
supplied. A list of these materials is available in the wiring Diagram. If in doubt, contact the manufacturer.
If the electrical connections are damaged due to mechanical or electrical causes or due to rodents, immediately
disconnect the system or at least the damaged part. After verifying that no failures were caused to the equipment, proceed
with the replacement of the wires using similar materials.
All the maintenance operations must be performed by taking into account all safety instructions, checking beforehand
that the components are not powered.
