LookFor RelevantEmissionsDurability Period and Air
index information On Your Small Off=RoadEngine
Emissions Label
Enginesthat are certified to meet the California Air
Resources Board (CARB) small off-road Emissions Standard
must display information regarding the Emissions Durability
Period and the Air Index. Briggs & Stratton makesthis
information availableto the consumer on our emissions
labels. The engine emissions label will indicate certification
information.
The Emissions Durability Period describes the number of
hours of actual running time for which the engine is certified
to be emissions compliant, assuming proper maintenancein
accordancewith the Operating & Maintenance Instructions.
The following categories are used:
Moderate:
Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for 125 hours
of actual engine running time.
intermediate:
Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for 250 hours
of actual engine running time.
Extended:
Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for 500 hours
of actual engine running time.
For example, a typical walk-behind lawn mower is used 20 to
25 hours per year. Therefore, the EmissionsDurability
Period of an engine with an intermediate rating would
equateto 10 to 12 years. Briggs & Stratton engines are
certified to meet the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (USEPA)Phase2 emissions standards. For Phase2
certified engines, the Emissions Compliance Period referred
to on the Emissions Compliance label indicates the number
of operating hours for which the engine has been shown to
meet Federalemissions requirements.
For engines less than 225 cc displacement.
Category C = 125 hours
Category B = 250 hours
Category A = 500 hours
For engines of 225 cc or more displacement.
Category C = 250 hours
Category B = 500 hours
CategoryA = 1000 hours
