Additional Notes

  • The PB 100 and PB 400 series (Standard and W variants) share an identical combined transmission and hydraulic system capacity of 80 liters, reflecting a unified fluid circuit where automatic transmission fluid serves both functions simultaneously.
  • The PB 600 Standard and PB 600 W carry a 100-liter system capacity, a 25 percent increase over the PB 400 series, consistent with the larger platform and greater hydraulic demands of the 600 class.
  • All five configurations share the same service interval of 1,200 operating hours or 12 months, whichever comes first. The dual-trigger structure accounts for machines that accumulate hours slowly, ensuring a calendar-based change occurs regardless of usage intensity.
  • The 1,200-hour interval is applied under normal use conditions across the entire lineup. In snow grooming equipment, operating hours accumulate seasonally, making the 12-month calendar limit a practical safeguard during low-activity periods.
  • System capacity figures represent the total fluid volume held within the combined transmission and hydraulic circuit, not a partial service fill. An 80- or 100-liter system capacity indicates a large integrated circuit typical of heavy tracked machinery where hydraulic actuation and transmission functions draw from a shared reservoir.
  • The W variants of both the PB 400 and PB 600 share their respective system capacities with the Standard variants, indicating no difference in fluid volume between the Standard and W configurations within each model class.
