Procedure

1. A certificate showing PCB content of the oil in each bushing by manufacturer, catalog number, and serial numbers sent to PCORE.

Contact your local PCORE agent or the factory. Note: Customer is responsible for freight both ways unless otherwise negotiated.

3. Once returned bushing is at PCORE, we:

• Evaluate to determine extent of repair and feasibility.
