Revoking initial tension and cableless (?) Explanation: The mechanics of a power window system come in three flavors: gear-and-sector, scissor lift, and cable-operated. Here we are talking about the electric motor driving the mechanical linkage setup. In this context "Seillos" means cableless, i.e. the first two types. Vorspannung is something you encounter in cable-operated systems and means "initial tension". Also from your excerpt I would infer that a fragment of the text is missing (after Seillose) |

slack cable Explanation: Eli, the only other clever idea I have is the possibility that it does not say "Seillose" but rather "Seil lose". Should this be the case then it would mean that the motor moves into such a position where the initial tension of the cable is released and the system makes sure that there is no cable slack. That's all I can think of. |
