a second bracket disposed around the condenser, the second bracket being different from the first bracket; a shaft portion disposed between the first bracket and the second bracket; a frame body configured to support the condenser; a joint portion attached to a front portion side of the frame body and connected to the shaft portion; and a stay portion configured to stay the condenser at the tilted-up position, the condenser being tilted by the joint portion turned about the shaft portion. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The working machine according to claim 1, further comprising a shroud disposed around the fan, wherein the first bracket is disposed on a front portion of the shroud in front of the condenser, the second bracket is disposed on a side portion of the shroud, the side portion being on a side of the condenser, and the stay portion is disposed on a side portion of the shroud, the side portion being in rear of the second bracket. ### Claim 3 A working machine comprising: a machine body; a motor mounted on the machine body; a fan arranged above the motor, the fan being configured to generate an air flow downward; a radiator arranged above the fan and on one side of the machine body in a machine width direction; an oil cooler arranged adjacent to the radiator and on the other side of the machine body in the machine width direction; a condenser arranged above the radiator and the oil cooler; a hose connected to the condenser; and a shroud disposed around the fan, wherein the shroud includes: a rim portion forming a through hole on a side of the condenser, the through hole vertically penetrating the shroud, and the hose is disposed passing through the rim portion from below of the condenser and extending to reach an upper portion where the condenser is arranged. ### Claim 4 A working machine comprising: a motor; a fan disposed above the motor; a fan motor configured to drive the fan; a shroud disposed around the fan, the shroud including: a first rim portion forming an air vent hole, the air vent hole serving as a passage of an air flow generated by the fan; a support member configured to support the fan motor from below, the support member including: an attachment portion being a portion for attachment of the fan motor; and a support stay extending from the attachment portion toward the shroud and being fixed at an end portion of the support stay, the end portion being disposed opposite to the attachment portion; a duct connected to the shroud, the duct being configured to introduce air passing through the air vent hole, the duct including a second rim portion forming an access hole, the second rim portion being disposed on a rear portion of the duct; and a bonnet disposed to cover a rear portion of the motor, the bonnet being configured to be freely opened and closed. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The working machine according to claim 4, wherein the duct includes: a cover configured to cover the access hole from an outside, the cover being configured to be freely attached to and detached from the access hole; and a third rim portion forming an opening portion, the opening portion being configured to exhaust the air to the outside. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The working machine according to claim 5, wherein the fan motor is constituted of a hydraulic motor, the hydraulic motor being configured to be driven by a hydraulic operation fluid. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The working machine according to claim 6, comprising: a first hydraulic hose configured to supply the hydraulic operation fluid to the hydraulic motor, the hydraulic hose passing through the third rim portion and entering the duct; and a relay portion configured to connect an end portion of the hydraulic hose to a second hydraulic hose other than the first hydraulic hose, the end portion being disposed on a side opposite to another end portion entering the duct. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The working machine according to claim 7, wherein the relay portion is disposed on a side of the third rim portion. ### Claim 9 (depends on 5) The working machine according to claim 5, comprising a machine body, wherein one of the third rim portions is disposed on a right side of the machine body, and the other one of the third rim portions is disposed on a left side of the machine body. ### Claim 10 (depends on 4) The working machine according to claim 4, comprising: a motor room configured to house the motor, wherein the shroud includes: a plate portion having the first rim portion;
