Air Index

An Air Index Information hang tag/label is applied to engines certified 
to an emission durability time period in accordance with the 
requirements of the California Air Resources Board.

The graph is intended to provide you, our customer, the ability to 
compare the emissions performance of available engines. The lower 
the Air Index, the less pollution.

The durability description is intended to provide you with information 
relating to the engine’s emission durability period. The descriptive 
term indicates the useful-life period for the engine’s emission control 
system. See your 

“EMISSION SYSTEM WARRANTY” on 

page 26

 for 

additional information.
