Every PIV gearbox has to be preserved for storage for up to maximum 18 months (note gearbox was ready packed since JULY 2013)
The gearbox has been stored for more than 18 months and the situation could be bearings and gearings need to be inspected and
cleaned and re-preserve (refer to PIV preservation instructions attached)
As for the oil seals we afraid that after such long time ..it could be hardened. It is always try to save small money but in the end
when installation and after start up oil leaking and that will cost more to dismantle motor , couplings and etc.. THEREFORE to prepare
for a good installation RIGHT FROM BEGINNINGT, it better to check the gearbox again before delivery and insatllation
Hope the project team understands what we are trying to assist for a right + good installation.
THIS USD 5500 is just like purchasing insurance situation against the whole installation.
Eventually LVT has to review the final decision for this case
1) to go ahead for the re-preservation OR
2) to just go ahead to deliver and if something do happen later after start up (PIV is not in position to provide any warranty for this)
If delivery time frame is tight..we do not have much time… waiting for LVT kind decision.
