Abstract
A machine includes a body having a cooling air inlet and a cooling air outlet, and having an engine compartment therein. A second compartment is positioned vertically above and fluidly connected with the engine compartment. At least one open-air operator station is positioned on a deck of the body, and a cooling system draws cooling air in a flow path through the engine compartment, into the second compartment and exhausts the cooling air in a forward direction away from the operator station.
