How can I reduce equipment emissions?

There are plenty of steps you can take to significantly reduce emissions by as much as one-third.

Here are some tips to consider:

Change the engine oil and air filter after every 25 hours of operation.
Use a non-spill gas container like Briggs & Stratton's Smart Fill® Fuel Can.
Use only clean, fresh gasoline because fuel deteriorates after 30 days.
Add stabilizer to your fuel before storing away for the season. Keep mower blades professionally sharpened.
Keep the underside of the mower deck clean.
Avoid tipping the mower during maintenance when the fuel tank is full.
And, most importantly, tune-up the engine on a regular basis as it not only extends the life of your equipment but can reduce emissions up to 50%, reduces fuel consumption up to 30% ad may increase engine horsepower up to 7.5% so a tune up is a very smart thing to do.
