XKE
• Kohler Command 8.5 HP OHV
engine with electric start.
• Electrically controlled, all-metal
spray nozzle has a 12V shut-off
valve. One switch on the
remote cab controls activates
both the formulation pump
and the fog on/off solenoid
valve.
XKE continued…
• Belt driven air compressor.
– Dual belt drive offers reliability, simplicity and minimizes vibration because it is
not a direct drive system.
• Separate formulation pump.
– This pump is not connected to the engine’s drive. It is driven by a separate
electric motor so it can be calibrated for optimum flow rate up to 18 oz/min
VERY QUIET OPERATION!
