Abstract
A manually operated wheeled machine includes a housing and an engine mounted to the housing via a mounting structure. The mounting structure includes a tubular spacer defining a through hole. The spacer has a first end directly abutting the engine and a second end inserted in a mounting hole extended through the housing. The second end of the spacer is offset axially inwardly from a lower surface of the housing. A damping element axially mounted to the spacer is directly engaged to the first end of the spacer. A washer axially mounted to the spacer is interposed between and directly contacts each of the damping element and an upper surface of the housing. A fastener is extended through mounting hole and the spacer from the lower surface of the housing for connection with the engine.
