4. Stratton makes this information available to the consumer on our emission labels The engine emission 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 maintenance in accordance with the Operating amp Maintenance Instructions The following categories are used Moderate Engine is certified to be emission compliant for 125 hours of actual engine running time Intermediate Engine is certified to be emission compliant for 250 hours of actual engine running time Extended Engine is certified to be emission 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 Certain Briggs amp Stratton engines will be certified to meet the United States Environmental Protection Agency USEPA Phase 2 emission standards For Phase 2 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 Federal emission 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

Technical Information Power Ratings The power ratings for an individual engine model are initially developed by starting with SAE Society of Automotive Engineers code J1940 Small Engine Power amp Torque Rating Procedure Revision 2002 05 Given both the wide array of products on which our engines are placed and the variety of environmental issues applicable to operating the equipment it may be that the engine you have purchased will not develop the rated horsepower when used in a piece of power equipment actual on site power This difference is due to a variety of factors including but not limited to the following differences in altitude temperature barometric pressure humidity fuel engine lubrication maximum governed engine speed individual engine to engine variability design of the particular piece of power equipment the manner in which the engine is operated engine run in to reduce friction and clean out of combustion chambers adjustments to the valves and carburetor and other factors The power ratings may also be adjusted based on comparisons to other similar engines utilized in similar applications and will therefore not necessarily match the values derived using the foregoing codes Emission Information Engines that are certified to meet the California Air Resources Board CARB Tier 2 Emission Standards must display information regarding the Emissions Durability Period and the Air Index Briggs amp
