The protective cover includes an engaging hook that includes: a shank portion that is disposed so as to extend from an opening end of the peripheral wall portion; and a hook portion that is disposed so as to project radially outward from a tip end of the shank portion, and the protective cover is held on the rear bracket elastically in an engaged state by the engaging hook being inserted into an engaging aperture that is formed on a casing.
