English term or phrase: right stay horizontal
It must be guaranteed that the unit is to be installed on the right, right stay horizontal.
Could anyone help me with the "right stay horizontal", thank you in advance

German translation:It is a typo!
Explanation:
I believe there is a typo in your sentence, it should be "It must be guaranteed that the unit to be installed on the right, stay horizontal". Whoever wrote this probably let a second "right" slip in by accident.
If that is the case the sentence translates as follows:
Es muss sicher gestellt werden, dass die Einheit auf der rechten Seite in horizontaler Stellung bleibt.

I hope this is helpful to you.
