THE POWER IN POWER EQUIPMENT
Thank you for selecting a Briggs & Stratton engine to power your equipment.
Briggs & Stratton is committed to producing a line of engines which will make your life’s chores easier to
perform. We have, at the same time, improved the design of our engines so they are environmentally
friendly. Since 1995, we have succeeded in reducing smog-forming exhaust emissions from our engines
by 70%. Briggs & Stratton’s efforts have not stopped there. We are also committed to designing and
introducing even cleaner engines in the future, while maintaining our reputation for excellent utility and
value.
Briggs & Stratton’s environmental awareness has resulted in the engineering of the “Smart-Fill” gas
can, featuring a spill resistant nozzle which opens only when fully inserted into the gas tank, and which
shuts off automatically when the tank is full. Because refueling spills can harm the environment, the
Smart-Fill container helps preserve a stronger ecosystem by reducing this source of pollution.
We hope you will enjoy your new engine and equipment. We welcome you to our worldwide family of
Briggs & Stratton engine users.
Best Wishes Always,
The Employees of Briggs & Stratton Corporation
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.
This is a generic representation
of the emission label typically
found on a certified engine.
