Reliability

Tested and Proven. Ready to Work.

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 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
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.

capabilities; all helping to enable a sustainable solution for your business.

Load Sensing Hydraulics

New load sensing hydraulics produce ow and pressure for the implement system upon demand and only in amounts necessary to
perform the needed work functions, enhancing machine productivity and fuel efciency. Implement controllability is improved
through simultaneous implement operation and repeatable ne modulation, enabling greater operator comfort through ease
ofoperation.

Ride Control

Ride control provides the operator with a smoother ride over rough terrain, enabling a more comfortable ride at higher speeds.
The benet is reduced cycle times, higher productivity and better fuel efciency while performing load and carry applications.
The system works by using an accumulator to dampen the linkage motion, acting as a shock absorber.

Lockup Torque Converter

The optional lockup torque converter on the 980K signicantly enhances productivity and fuel efciency while performing load
and carry applications, especially on grades. The lockup clutch eliminates torque converter losses, ultimately resulting in lower
fuel consumption while achieving higher travel speeds up a grade.

Transmission

The K Series™ transmissions incorporate a new shifting strategy that delivers smoother shifts, faster acceleration, and better
performance climbing a grade. When placing the transmission into forward gear, the machine will automatically start in
secondgear. With the further enhancement of a torque based 2 to 1 downshift, the downshift will only occur based on machine
load. Owners and operators will fully benet from utilizing the automatic 1-4 transmission mode, which results in lower fuel
consumption and optimal machine performance.

Severalfeatures contribute to this excellent fuel ef ciency:

• Performance Series Buckets – Deliver faster ll times and better material retention, ultimately reducing cycle times while

improving productivity and fuel ef ciency.

• Load-Sensing Hydraulics – Provides only the hydraulic ow required by the implement and steering systems for improved

fuel efciency and greater rimpull.

• ACERT™ Engine – Power dense engine enables a more fuel-efcient method to meet emissions regulations.

• Fuel Management System (FMS) – Optimizes power for maximum fuel savings with minimal impact on production.

• Engine Idle Shutdown – Automatic engine and electrical system shutdown conserves fuel.

• Lockup Torque Converter – Transfers more power to the ground and optimizes fuel efciency in all applications.

• Shift Strategy – Reduced torque interruption increases driveline efciency, conserving fuel. Auto 1-4 transmission mode

keeps engine rpm low, reducing fuel consumption while delivering optimal machine performance.

Machine conguration, operator technique, and job site layout can impact fuel consumption by as much as 30 percent.

• Machine Con guration – Select the correct work tool and tire type based on machine application. Radial tires are preferred;

ensure proper ination pressures. Heavier tires burn more fuel. Keep engine rpm low by using auto 1-4 transmission mode.

• Job Site Layout – Spot loading targets in the right position. Avoid traveling more than twice the machine length during

short cycle loading. Reduce transport distance for load and carry cycles by optimizing job site layout.

• Loading Bucket – Load in rst gear and keep engine rpm low. Raise and tilt bucket smoothly and do not use a “pumping”

motion. Avoid lift lever detent and use transmission neutralizer.

• Loading Truck or Hopper – Do not raise the work tool any higher than necessary. Keep engine rpm low and unload

incontrolled manner.

• Idle – Set the parking brake to engage Engine Idle Management System.
