hope you can help :)
"the installation of the cables must be carried out carefully to the junction box is maintained (insertion of cables via glands)."
thanx

non danneggiare
ho l'impressione che ci sia un errore e che la frase dovrebbe essere "... must be carried out carefully SO the junction box is maintained ...", quindi "collegare i cavi con cautela IN MODO DA NON DANNEGGIARE la scatola di giunzione"

mantenere efficiente e in buono stato
Questo il significato più plausibile nel contesto della tua frase.
Tuttavia anche io sono dell'idea che ci sia un errore, perché la sintassi "non quadra". Quindi sta a te decidere se tradurre a occhi chiusi o se chiedere al cliente.
