LookFor RelevantEmissionsDurability Period and Air
Index InformationOnYour EngineEmissionsLabel
Engines that are certified to meet the California Air
Resources Board (CARD)Emissions Standard must display
information regarding the Emissions Durability Period and
the Air Index. Briggs & Stratton makes this information
availableto the consumer on our 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 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 Emissions Durability
Period of an engine with an intermediate rating would
equate to 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
Category A = 1000 hours
