ENGINE FOR OUTDOOR POWER EQUIPMENT UNIT

摘要

An air cleaner (218) system that potentially reduces debris entering a prime mover (e.g., engine 200) during removal/replacement of an air cleaner (218). In one embodiment, the engine (200) includes a shroud (204) defining an air cleaner compartment (212). The engine (200) further includes a tubular air feed port (214) defining a combustion air intake (210). The air feed port (214) terminates at an end face (213) located at or within the air cleaner compartment (212), and a lower portion (215) of the end face (213) is notched relative to other portions of the end face (213). In other embodiments, an engine oil drain system is provided that selectively positions a distal end (312) of an oil drain tube (306) at a drain position located away from the engine (200). The oil drain tube (306) may also be repositioned to a stored position, wherein the distal end (312) of the drain tube (306) attaches to a nipple (314) connected to either an engine housing or surrounding structure.
