Briggs & Stratton Corporation (B&S), the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA)
The California Air Resources Board (CARB), U.S. EPA and B&S are pleased to explain the Emissions Con
trol System Warranty on your small off road engine (SORE). In California, new small off road engines mod
el year 2006 and later must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti smog stan
dards. Elsewhere in the United States, new non road, spark ignition engines certified for model year 1997
and later must meet similar standards set forth by the U.S. EPA. B&S must warrant the emissions control
system on your engine for the periods of time listed below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect or
Small off road engines are warranted relative to emissions control parts defects for a period of two years, subject to provisions set forth below. If any covered part on your engine is defective, the part will be
repaired or replaced by B&S.
As the small off road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required mainte
nance listed in your Operating and Maintenance Instructions. B&S recommends that you retain all your
receipts covering maintenance on your small off road engine, but B&S cannot deny warranty solely for
the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the small off road engine owner, you should however be aware that B&S may deny you warranty
coverage if your small off road engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance
or unapproved modifications.
The following are specific provisions relative to your Emissions Control Defects Warranty Coverage. It is in addition to the B&S engine warranty for non regulated engines found in the Operating and Maintenance
Instructions.

parts) to the extent these parts were present on the engine purchased.

• Magneto ignition system
d. Catalyst System

Look For Relevant Emission Durability Period and Air Index Information On Your Engine Emission 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 label will indicate certification information.
The Emission Durability Period describes the number of hours of actual running time for which the engine is certified to be emission 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 Emission 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 emission for a specific engine family. The lower the Air Index, the cleaner the engine. This information is displayed in graphical form on the
emission 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 INTEK™ Model Series 110000 engine is 167 cc, INTEK™ Model Series 120000 engine is 190 cc.The displacement of QUANTUM® Model Series 120000 engine is 190 cc.
