The K Series™ features many of the components designed
andproven 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 lter. 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 ows down the center of the tube
and continues into the primary air lter. The primary bene t
is extended 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
systemsreduce 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. Thesystem
also improves starting capability at high altitudes.
