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	improving	safety	and	reducing	service	
time.	Accessible	from	the	service	center	are	the	transmission	
and	hydraulic	oil	filters,	brake	accumulators,	pressure	test	
ports,	etc.
