Abstract
An engine enclosure for enclosing an engine of a work machine. The enclosure includes a first panel hingedly supported from an enclosure top and extending downwardly therefrom to form an enclosure side portion. A first hinge device joins the first panel to the enclosure top for pivotal movement relative thereto, the first panel pivotable from a closed position to an open position for access of engine components. A second panel hingedly supports and forms another portion of the enclosure side, extending upwardly toward the first panel. A lower portion of the first panel is configured to overlie an upper portion of the second panel when the first and second panels are in a closed position for preventing pivotal movement of the second panel when the first panel overlies the second panel. The second panel is pivotable from the closed position to an open position for access of engine components.
