Product Description: The CPS 185-100 KoD is a heavy-duty portable diesel air compressor designed for demanding construction, industrial, utility, and jobsite applications.
It delivers reliable compressed air performance with a Kohler Tier 4 Final diesel engine and a robust design built for durability, easy operation, and simplified maintenance.
The compressor features a CP Xc1004 controller with a standard disconnect switch, providing operational monitoring, diagnostics, and safety warning/shutdown functions, including protection against high engine and compressor element temperatures.
A spillage-free frame, heavy-duty battery, thermostatic bypass valve, and DOT towing package make the CPS 185-100 KoD well suited for mobile jobsite use. The towing package includes 15-inch wheels, a torsion axle, adjustable-height 3-inch pintle towing eye, road lights, VIN, and an adjustable jack stand.
The Cold Weather Configuration adds a 120V engine block heater, synthetic compressor oil, and 0W engine oil for improved performance in colder conditions. It also extends the compressor service interval from 1,000 hours/1 year to 1,500 hours/2 years.
