HONDA GCV160 - Manual (Page 14)

14 ENGLISH
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 bar 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 the engine’s emission durability period. The descriptive term
indicates the useful life period for the engine’s emission control
system. See your EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
(page 18) for additional information.
Quick Reference Information
** Actual amount will vary due to residual oil remaining in the engine. Always
use the dipstick to confirm the actual level (see page 9)

* The power rating of the engine indicated in this document is the net power
output tested on a production engine for the engine model and measured in
accordance with SAE J1349 at 3600 rpm (net power) and at 2500 rpm (max
net torque). Mass production engines may vary from this value. Actual power
output for the engine installed in the final machine will vary depending on
numerous factors, including the operating speed of the engine in application,
environmental conditions, maintenance, and other variables.
