Abstract
Outdoor power equipment includes a frame supported by a plurality of wheels and an air heating system. The air heating system includes an air inlet, an air outlet, a heating device configured to heat the air between the air inlet and the air outlet, and an adjustable duct connector fixedly coupled to at least one of the air inlet and the air outlet. The adjustable duct connector includes a base plate, a ring arm slidably coupled to the base plate, and a handle rotatably coupled to the base plate and the ring arm. Rotation of the handle selectively transitions the ring arm between a first position proximate the handle and a second position arranged further from the handle. The adjustable duct connector further includes a locking mechanism configured to secure the ring arm in the first position and the second position.
