Look For Relevant EmissionsDurability Period and Air index
information On YourSmaJJOff-Road EngineEmissionsLabel
Enginesthat are certified to meet the California Air Resources Board
(GARB)small off-road Emissions Standard must display information
regarding the Emissions Durability Period and the Air Index. The
engine manufacturer makesthis information availableto the
consumer on emissions labels. The engine emissions label will
indicate certification information.
The EmissionsDurability Period describes the number of hours of
actual running time for which the engine is certified to be emissions
compliant, assuming proper maintenance in accordance with 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 equate to 10 to 12 years.
Small off-road engines are certified to meet the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)Phase 2 or Phase 3
emissions standards. 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
Federal emissions requirements.
For engines lessthan 225 cc displacement.
Category C = 125 hours
Category B = 250 hours
CategoryA = 500 hours
For engines of 225 cc or more displacement.
Category C = 250 hours
Category B = 500 hours
CategoryA = 1000 hours
