A particular component may not have been fitted correctly during the installation of some mavig portegra 2 systems (a ceiling suspension system). the component in question is not actively involved in the operation of the mavig portegra 2 system and its absense does not have an adverse effect on system function. the component would hold a pin in position in case that pin gets released and thus prevent system parts from becoming loose leading to an adverse effect on the function and possibly becoming detached from the system.
