Look For Relevant Emissions 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 Pe-
riod and the Air Index. Sears, Roebuck and Co., U.S.A. makes this information avail-
able 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 fol-
lowing 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 en-
gine 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 Sears, Roebuck and Co., U.S.A. 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.
