Structures
The
K
Series™
features
many
of
the
components
designed
and proven
reliable
over
generations
of
product
design.
Strata Precleaner
The
system
removes
93%
of
the
dust
particles
before
the
air
has
reached
the
primary
engine
air
filter.
As
air
enters
the precleaner,
stationary
vanes
cause
the
incoming
air
to
spin.
The resulting
centrifugal
force
spins
dust
and
dirt
to
the
outer
walls
where
they
are
ejected
out
into
the
exhaust
stream,
while
the
clean
air
flows
down
the
center
of
the
tube
and
continues
into
the
primary
air
filter.
The
primary
benefi
t
is
extended
fi
lter
life.
Cold Start/High Altitude Package
A
new
optional
cold
start
package
includes
a
fan
pump
bypass,
transmission
pump
bypass,
additional
battery
capacity,
and
an
engine
heater
plug/cord.
The
bypass
systems
reduce
the
parasitic
load
on
the
engine,
while
the
additional
battery
capacity
increases
the
cold
cranking
revolutions
during
startup.
With
the
new
optional
cold start
package
available
on
K
Series,
starting
capability
has been
dramatically
improved
in
cold
weather
conditions.
The system
also
improves
starting
capability
at
high
altitudes.
