Serviceability

Easy to Maintain. Easy to Service.

Electrical Service Center

The electrical service center provides grouped ground level
access to numerous electrical features, enhancing safety
and convenience for operators and service technicians. It
is conveniently located beneath the left platform for access
before entering the cab and contains the maintenance free
batteries, a fuse relay panel, main disconnect switch, ground
level engine shutdown switch, hood tilt switch, and the jump
start receptacle.

Engine Access

The K Series retains the Cat sloped “one­piece” tilting
hood, which has become one of our brand’s hallmarks and
provides industry­leading access to the engine, Cat Clean
Emissions Module (CEM) and other components but with
fresh new styling clearly distinct from the H Series. New to
the loaders is a rear clamshell hood design that allows quick
access to the engine oil dipstick and fill, fuel fill port, and
cooler cores.

Cooling System

The cooling system is readily accessible for clean out
and maintenance. With six cooling fins per inch and a
perforated grill, most airborne debris entering the system
passes through the cooler cores. The cooler cores swing out
providing easy access for cleaning; an option variable pitch
fan is available to automatically purge the cooler cores by
periodically reversing the airfl ow.

Hydraulic Service Center

The hydraulic components are all conveniently located
behind the hinged right side access ladder at a single ground
level service center enhancing safety and reducing service
time. Accessible from the service center are the transmission
and hydraulic oil filters, brake accumulators, pressure test
ports, etc.
