Abstract

See full text

A support structure includes a shroud having a substantially circular shape from a proximal end covering an outer periphery of a first surface of a heat exchanger to a distal end. A support frame supports the heat exchanger and the shroud to expose the distal end and a second surface of the heat exchanger. The vehicle body frame has an opening. A cooling fan includes a fan rotating shaft and blades to generate cooling air. When the heat exchanger is positioned at the first position facing the cooling fan, the distal end of the shroud covers a circumference of the cooling fan in a radial direction so that cooling air passes through the first and second surfaces. When the support frame is located at a second position where the heat exchanger exposes the opening to an outside of the vehicle frame, the fan rotating shaft and the blades are uncovered.
