Claim:
A prime mover mount system for a device, the device having a front, a rear, and two sides, the prime mover mount system comprising: a prime mover mount member; a prime mover mounted to the prime mover mount member, wherein the prime mover applies a torque force to the prime mover mount member during device operation; a first elastic member; a second elastic member; a first bracket provided on the prime mover mount member and including a first surface, wherein the first surface is adjacent the first elastic member, and wherein the first surface partially faces the front, thereby placing the first elastic member into compression when the prime mover applies the torque force to the prime mover mount member; and a second bracket provided on the prime mover mount member and including a second surface, wherein the second surface is adjacent the second elastic member, and wherein the second surface partially faces the rear, thereby placing the second elastic member into compression at the same time as the first elastic member when the prime mover applies the torque force to the prime mover mount member.
