and the Air Index. Briggs & Stratton makesthis information availableto the con-
sumer on our emissions labels.The engine emissionslabel will indicate certification
information.
The Emissions DurabilityPerioddescribesthe numberof hours of actualrunning
time for which the engineis certifiedto be emissions compliant,assuming proper
maintenancein accordancewiht the Operatingand MaintenanceInstructions. The
following categoriesare used:
Moderate:
Engineis certifiedto beemissions compliant for 125 hours of actual runningtime.
Intermediate:
Engineis certifiedto beemissions compliant for 250 hours of actual runningtime.
Extended:
Engineis certifiedto be emissionscompliant for 500 hours of actual enginerunningtime.

fore, the Emissions Durability Period of an enginewith an intermediate rating would
equateto 10 to 12 years.
