Spare Actuator Adoption

Following parts must be in accordance with the partlist for the compressor and actuator the spare actuator is intended to be used: - Solex Nozzle (diameter) - Soft touch damper: length of throttle piston - Seal housing design / sealing materials - Is integrated oil pressure sensor required? - Correct bus address - Termination yes/no (must be set for last actuator on the bus)
