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.

Monitoring Programs
Monitoring product health is key to maintaining reliability of
any equipment. Many programs offered by Caterpillar make
the tracking of the customer’s machine health quick and
easy. These programs include Product Link, VisionLink™,
and S·O·SSM Services.

Engine
The new Cat C9.3 ACERT engine was designed to optimize
power density. It uses a combination of technologies to reduce
regulated emissions while ensuring high performance and
excellent fuel efficiency. An upgraded ADEM™ 4 electronic
control module manages the combustion process and a
new high­pressure common rail fuel system allows precise
injection timing for a clean, efficient fuel burn. The rugged
Cat Clean Emissions Module is securely rubber mounted
on its own platform above the engine and contains a
Diesel Oxidation Catalyst, Diesel Particulate Filter and
Cat Regeneration System. Regeneration, the process by
which soot is removed from the Diesel Particulate Filter,
is completely automatic and does not interrupt the
machine’s work cycle.

Emissions
The 966K features a Cat C9.3 ACERT engine and a
Cat Clean Emissions Module to deliver the performance
and efficiency that customers demand, while meeting
Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB emission standards. The six­cylinder

Technology is a combination of building blocks that includes
electronics, fuel systems, air management systems and
aftertreatment components. The system is optimized based
on engine size, the type of application and the geographic
location in which it will work. The technologies are applied
systematically and strategically to meet high customer
expectations for productivity, fuel effi ciency, reliability
and service life.

Axles
The 966K axles are designed to handle extreme applications
resulting in reliable performance and extended life. The front
axle is rigidly mounted to the frame in order to withstand
internal torque loads and still maintain support for the wheel
loader. The rear axle can oscillate to ±13 degrees helping to
ensure all four wheels stay on the ground providing stability
even in the roughest terrain.

roll back angles, and faster dig times. The results are improved tire life, superior fuel efficiency, and exceptional production
capabilities; all helping to enable a sustainable solution for your business.

Load Sensing Hydraulics


Load sensing hydraulics produce flow and pressure for the implement system upon demand and only in amounts necessary to
perform the needed work functions, enhancing machine productivity and fuel efficiency. Implement controllability is improved
through simultaneous implement operation and repeatable fine 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 benefit is reduced cycle times, higher productivity and better fuel efficiency while performing load and carry applications.
The system works by using an accumulator to dampen the linkage motion, acting as a shock absorber.

Torque Converter
The 966K torque converter is optimized to improve fuel efficiency and deliver more power to the ground.

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 benefit from utilizing the automatic 1­4 transmission mode, which results in lower fuel
consumption and optimal machine performance.

Work Tools for Many Job Site Requirements


An extensive range of work tools and bucket styles are
available for the 966K to customize the machine for your
operation. The list includes: Performance Series Buckets;
Specialty Buckets (Multipurpose, Side Dump, Waste Handling,
Woodchip); Pallet Forks, Log and Lumber Forks, Rakes
(with or without top clamps); and Plows (angle or V­style).
Each is available either with pin on or quick coupler interface.

Performance Series Buckets:


Load Easy, Fuel Efficient, Carry More
Performance Series Buckets utilize a system­based approach
to balance bucket shape with the machine’s linkage, weight,
lift and tilt capacities. Operators benefit from reduced dig
times and better material retention; ultimately translating
into significant productivity and fuel effi ciency improvements.

Lower Operating Costs


Performance Series Buckets feature a longer floor that easily
digs through the pile and provides excellent visibility for the
operators to see when the bucket is full. Less time digging
in the pile results in lower fuel consumption and improved
tire life. A unique spill guard protects the cab and linkage
components from material overfl ow.

Higher Productivity
Performance Series Buckets achieve higher fill factors –
ranging from 100% to 115% depending on the machine
application and material type. The buckets feature optimized
geometry with a bucket opening matched to the machine’s
linkage and incorporate a curved side profile to maximize
material retention. The optimized design results in unsurpassed
production capabilities.

Performance Series Bucket Styles


Performance Series Buckets are available for General Purpose,
Material Handling, Rock and Coal style buckets.

Fusion
Quick
Coupler

Improved Machine Performance


Fusion™ is the patented wheel loader coupler system
from Caterpillar. The Fusion Coupler System provides
performance virtually identical to pin on – with all the
flexibility of a quick coupler system. The Fusion Coupler
sits back, close­in to the loader arms – minimizing offset
and increasing the machine’s performance.

No Loss of Performance
Imagine lifting a hundred pound box with your arms fully
extended. Now imagine lifting that same load close to your
body. That’s the genius of Fusion: designed to integrate
the work tool and the machine by pulling the coupler and
tool closer in to the loader. As a result, the center of gravity
is moved inward, towards the machine. This translates
to increased lifting ability when compared to machines
equipped with other coupler systems. Fusion™ eliminates
coupler offset...

attachment tight to the machine in two directions – in and
down. Constant hydraulic pressure on the coupler wedges
compensate for wear, assuring a tight fit through the life of
the coupler. Tight fit gives better tool control and increased
productivity. Coupler durability is substantially increased
over traditional couplers.

Enhanced Visibility
An open coupler frame design clears sight lines from the
operator’s seat, making it easier than ever before to engage
and disengage attachments with certainty. Offset tines and
other design changes to Fusion Pallet Forks, working in
conjunction with the Fusion Coupler, enhance visibility
substantially at ground level and truck bed height when
compared to traditional coupler and fork combinations.

Common Interface Compatibility


The Fusion Coupler System gives Caterpillar customers one
common interface – eliminating the need for many different
couplers across the entire range of small and medium wheel
loaders. This expanded machine compatibility not only allows
one machine to use a range of work tools, but also allows one
work tool to be picked up by machines of many different sizes.
The Fusion coupler interface is designed to work on 924
through 972 machines. Each machine will have its own optimal
bucket and fork recommendations. However, cross­machine
compatibility gives you additional flexibility and fl eet options
not found with any other wheel loader coupler.

Electro-Hydraulic (EH) Joystick Steering with


Force Feedback (Speed Sensitive)
The industry leading EH joystick steering system combines
operator comfort and precision control to provide a
sustainable work environment for the operator. The system
incorporates a force feedback motor that automatically adjusts
the effort needed to tilt the ergonomic joystick based on
ground speed, resulting in superior control in all applications
and climates. For customers who prefer a steering wheel, an
electro­hydraulic steering wheel is available as an option.

Implement Controls (EH)


Seat mounted single axis implement control levers provide
the operator with precise control of the work tool, all
while moving with the seat for maximum comfort. In cab
programmable kick­outs and automatic cylinder snubbing
maximize operator comfort and productivity throughout
their shift. Optional implement joysticks are available
for 2V and 3V hydraulics.

Seat
The Cat Optimized Seating System is 6­way adjustable to
accommodate operators of all sizes. The seat has a one
piece high back that supports the lumbar area of the back
up through the shoulders. Both armrests are large and can
be adjusted up, down, fore, and aft to enhance comfort and
convenience. An optional feature for the cab seat is a heated
backrest and cushion.

Sound and Vibration


New viscous cab mounts connect the cab to the frame of
the machine, decreasing noise and vibration the operator
is subjected to. This contributes to a well­rested operator
who remains efficient and productive. All Day. Every Day.

Information Display
The central display panel has a large text box, fi ve analog­
like gauges, and LED warning indicators. The large text box
provides in­language information about machine operation,
feature activation and system troubleshooting and calibration.
With the 5 large analog­type gauges the operator can easily
identify if key systems are within normal operating range.
A resettable trip totals function has been incorporated to
display information for average fuel consumed, total fuel
consumed, idle fuel, idle time, operating hours, odometer, etc.
The navigation buttons are located on the side of the screen
and help assist with set up and other various functions.

8
Automatic Climate Control and Air Quality
The new climate control system automatically adjusts the air
temperature and fan speed to maintain the operator’s preferred
climate setting. The cab air filtration system recirculates 90%
of the cab air and is now serviced from outside the cab,
enabling maximum air quality and cab cleanliness. The new
air conditioning sealing system keeps refrigerant contained
preventing system shutdown. Combined together, these systems
help the operator to remain efficient and productive all shift long.

Entry and Exit


Well­placed grab bars and a ladder inclination angle of
10­degrees forward makes the walk into the cab feel more like
a staircase than a ladder. The new wider front hinged door can
be opened and closed while seated, greatly improving ingress
and egress. Two new left­hand and right­hand sliding windows
can also be opened and closed with one hand while seated for
comfortable communication to personnel on the ground.

Visibility
Visibility has been enhanced by removing the steering wheel,
adding a convex windshield, and eliminating two cab posts.
The cab has a clean and clear panoramic view for safe operation
of the machine. External rearview mirrors are mounted on the
cab to provide all around visibility. The external mirrors fold
horizontally to provide fast, safe access to clean the window
from the front platform. Optional heated and powered mirrors
are available to further improve visibility in cold climates.

Rearview Camera
With the new standard rearview camera, visibility is greatly
enhanced. The camera is located in a pocket on the grill to
protect it from damage and the elements. The camera can
be set to activate only when the transmission is in reverse to
help eliminate distractions in the cab, especially when in dark
environments. Two rear work lights are located in the rear
grill and can be activated to illuminate the area behind the
machine in low light conditions.

Control Panels and Park Brake Switch


Two control panels located on the front right ROPS post
consist of large membrane switches making them easy to
activate while wearing gloves. The membrane switches contain
LED’s to denote activation/mode and have a positive feel and
“click” to signal activation. The ISO symbols located on each
membrane switch are molded all the way through to ensure
the image will not wear off over time. A new “help” feature
explains the function of each membrane switch. A two position
rocker switch activates the electro­hydraulic park brake and
is automatically applied upon machine shutdown.

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.

• Performance Series Buckets – Deliver faster fill times and better material retention, ultimately reducing cycle times while
improving productivity and fuel effi ciency.
• Load-Sensing Hydraulics – Provides only the hydraulic flow required by the implement and steering systems for improved
fuel efficiency and greater rimpull.
• ACERT™ Engine – Power dense engine enables a more fuel­efficient 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.
• Torque Converter – Transfers more power to the ground and optimizes fuel efficiency in all applications.
• Shift Strategy – Reduced torque interruption increases driveline efficiency, conserving fuel. Auto 1­4 transmission mode
keeps engine rpm low, reducing fuel consumption while delivering optimal machine performance.
Machine configuration, operator technique, and job site layout can impact fuel consumption by as much as 30 percent.
• Machine Confi guration – Select the correct work tool and tire type based on machine application. Radial tires are preferred;
ensure proper inflation pressures. Heavier tires burn more fuel. Keep engine rpm low by using auto 1­4 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 first gear and keep engine rpm low. Raise and tilt bucket smoothly and do not use a “pumping”
motion. Avoid lift lever detent and use of 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.
