    Abstract: A safety system for engine powered machinery having a fuel cut functionality to promote more rapid shutdown of the rotating parts of the engine powered machinery. In one aspect, the system is implemented as a wiring harness disposed exclusively on the engine which simultaneously disables one or more ignition coils and prevents a fuel-air mixer from supplying a mixture of air and fuel to the engine upon activation of a safety switch. In alternate aspects, the system further comprises a stator brake which is activated by the safety switch to provide additional braking torque on the engine. These features bring the machinery to a rapid halt, further enhancing safety.

    Abstract translation: 用于发动机动力机械的安全系统具有燃料切断功能,以促进发动机动力机械的旋转部件的更快速关闭。 在一个方面,该系统被实现为专门设置在发动机上的线束,其同时禁用一个或多个点火线圈并且在启动安全开关时防止燃料 - 空气混合器将空气和燃料的混合物供应到发动机。 在替代方面,系统还包括定子制动器,该定子制动器由安全开关启动以在发动机上提供额外的制动转矩。 这些功能使机器迅速停止,进一步提高安全性。

    Abstract: Intake assemblies for an engine are provided. In one aspect, an air intake assembly includes a screen defining a plurality of air passage holes therein, a fan, a flywheel, a crankshaft, and a screen support member coupled to the screen. The fan, the flywheel and the screen support member are coupled to the crankshaft with a single fastener, and the screen, the fan, the flywheel, the crankshaft and the screen support member all rotate together. In one aspect, the screen support member supports the screen a distance away from the fan such that the screen is completely spaced-apart from and does not engage the fan. In one aspect, a screen support member includes a base near one end of the screen support member and a plurality of coupling locations near a second end. The screen couples to the screen support member at the plurality of coupling locations.
