Tech/Engineering - Electronics / Elect Eng / solar energy collectors
German term or phrase: gegenhalten
Again, not really sure about the whole thing but the word might help...

Beim Verschrauben der Anschlussverschraubungen und bei den Verbindungen zwischen den Kollektoren unbedingt gegenhalten, da sonst Beschaedigungen am Absorber entstehen koennen!

Be sure to gegenhalten when bolting the screw connexions together and at the connexions between the collectors, as the absorber may otherwise incur damages!
