Aus der Montageanleitung eines Tischventilators:
"Adjust the *poisons* of the grille retaining clips to ensure they are engaged correctly on the rim."
Ich stehe da im Augenblick absolut auf dem Schlauch, da auch die Zeichnung keine Hinweise darauf gibt, um was für Teile es sich dabei handelt. Irgendwelche Vorschläge?
Vielen Dank im Voraus.

position (Typo?)
Hello,
This is my best guess but ask the customer. They tryed to type "position", the spell-checker interpreted it and "poison" is the rather strange result.

: Would be my guess, too. I have those on the fan in the office and, if you remove them to clean the grille, they are a pain in the neck to get right without breaking them!

: I think so as well. It looks like a spelling mistake and the term position makes sense in this context.
