It is not intended thar oil be removed from service when a single propery limi is exceeded or that the oil be leftin service until all proparry values are outside the stat ts. Each case shall bo examined indi and manufacturer's advice may be considered. Oils that do not mest the suzzested limits for comtinued service in their respective voltage classes may be considered for reuse in similar apparatus operating at a lower voltage class if they meet the limits for that class, or they may be itsble for reconditioning (Group 1) or reclamation (Group I}. Suggested linn ils im these groups are contsinad in Table 2. Gils that do not meet the suzgested limits for Group IIT should be discarded unless the reclamation process in use can restore the oils to the limits given in Txbles 3 and 4.
