THE POWER THAT WORKS FOR YOU™

Look For Relevant Emissions Durability Period and Air Index Information

On Your Engine Emissions Label

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 & 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 &

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.

The Air Index is a calculated number describing the relative level of emissions for a specific engine family. The

lower the Air Index,the cleaner the engine. This information is displayed in graphical form on the emissions label.

After July 1, 2000, Look For Emissions Compliance Period On

Engine Emissions Compliance Label

After July 1, 2000 certain Briggs & 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, B = 250 hours and A = 500 hours. For engines of 225 cc or more, Category

C = 250 hours, B = 500 hours and A = 1000 hours.

The displacement of Model Series 190000 engines is 319 cc. The displacement of Model Series 280000 engines is

465 cc.

SAFETY

Gasoline and its vapors are extremely

flammable and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns

or death.

WARNING

WHEN ADDING FUEL

•Turn engine OFF and let engine cool at least 2

minutes before removing gas cap.

•Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area.

•Do not overfill fuel tank. Fill tank to approximately

1-1/2 inches below top of neck to allow for fuel

expansion.

•Keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames,

pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources.

•Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently

for cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.

WHEN STARTING ENGINE

•Make sure spark plug, muffler, fuel cap and air

cleaner are in place.

•Do not crank engine with spark plug removed.

•If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting

engine.

•If engine floods, set choke to OPEN/RUN position,

place throttle in FAST and crank until engine starts.

WHEN OPERATING EQUIPMENT

•Do not tip engine or equipment at angle which

causes gasoline to spill.

•Do not choke carburetor to stop engine.

WHEN TRANSPORTING EQUIPMENT

•Transport with fuel tank EMPTY or with fuel shut-off

valve OFF.

WHEN STORING GASOLINE OR EQUIPMENT

WITH FUEL IN TANK

•Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or

other appliances that have pilot light or other

ignition source because they can ignite gasoline

vapors.

Starting engine creates sparking.

Sparking can ignite nearby flammable

gases.

Explosion and fire could result.

WARNING

•If there is natural or LP gas leakage in area, do not

start engine.

•Do not use pressurized starting fluids because

vapors are flammable.

WARNING

•When starting engine, pull cord slowly until

resistance is felt, then pull rapidly.

•Remove all external equipment/engine loads

before starting engine.

•Direct coupled equipment components such as,

but not limited to, blades, impellors, pulleys,

sprockets, etc., must be securely attached.

Rapid retraction of starter cord (kickback) will

pull hand and arm toward engine faster than

you can let go.

Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains

could result.

WARNING

Rotating parts can contact or entangle

hands, feet, hair, clothing, or accessories.

Traumatic amputation or severe laceration

can result.

•Operate equipment with guards in place.

•Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.

•Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.

•Do not wear loose-fitting clothing, dangling

drawstrings or items that could become caught.

SAFETY

Engines give off carbon monoxide, an

odorless, colorless, poison gas.

Breathing carbon monoxide can cause

nausea, fainting or death.

WARNING

•Start and run engine outdoors.

•Do not start or run engine in enclosed area, even if

doors or windows are open.

WARNING

Running engines produce heat. Engine

parts, especially muffler, become extremely

hot.

Severe thermal burns can occur on contact.

Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass,

brush, etc. can catch fire.

•Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to cool

before touching.

•Remove accumulated combustibles from muffler

area and cylinder area.

•Install and maintain in working order a spark

arrester before using equipment on forest-covered,

grass-covered, brush-covered unimproved land.

The state of California requires this (Section 4442

of the California Public Resources Code). Other

states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply

on federal land.

WARNING

Unintentional sparking can result in fire or

electric shock.

Unintentional start-up can result in en-

tanglement, traumatic amputation, or lac-

eration.

BEFORE PERFORMING ADJUSTMENTS OR

REPAIRS

•Disconnect spark plug wire and keep it away from

spark plug.

•Disconnect battery at negative terminal (only

engines with electric start).

WHEN TESTING FOR SPARK

•Use approved spark plug tester.

•Do not check for spark with spark plug removed.

ENGINE INFORMATION

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

POWER RATINGS: The power ratings for an individual engine

model are initially developed by starting with SAE (Society of Auto-

motive Engineers) code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque

Rating Procedure) (Revision 2002-05). Given both the wide array

of products on which our engines are placed, and the variety of en-

vironmental 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, tempera-

ture, barometric pressure, humidity, fuel, engine lubrication, maxi-

mum governed engine speed, individual engine to engine variabil-

ity, 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.
