AIR INDEX
To show compliance with California emission regulations, a hangtag has been provided displaying the
Air Index level and durability period of this engine.
The Air Index level denes how clean an engine’s exhaust is over a period of time. A bar graph scaled
for “0” (most clean) to “10” (least clean) is used to show an engine’s Air Index level. A lower Air Index
level represents cleaner exhaust from an engine.
The period of time (in hours) that the Air Index level is measured is known as the durability period.
Depending on the size of the engine, a selection of time periods can be used to measure the Air Index
level (see below).
Descriptive Term Applicable to Emissions Durability Period
Moderate - 50 hours (engine from 0 to 80cc)
125 hours (engine greater than 80cc)
Intermediate - 125 hours (engine from 0 to 80cc)
250 hours (engine greater than 80cc)
Extended - 300 hours (engine from 0 to 80cc)
500 hours (engine greater than 80cc)
1000 hours (225 cc and greater)
Notice: This hangtag must remain on this engine or piece of equipment, and only be removed by the
ultimate purchaser before operation.
