Abstract

A vehicle includes a frame, a tractive element coupled to the frame, an engine coupled to the frame and configured to drive the tractive element, and a debris shield coupled to the frame. The debris shield at least partially defines at least one of a left side or a right side of an engine compartment containing the engine. The debris shield includes an outer frame coupled to the frame and defining a ventilation aperture, an inner frame coupled to the outer frame, and a screen extending across the ventilation aperture. The screen extends between the outer frame and the inner frame such that the inner frame limits movement of the screen relative to the outer frame.
