Briggs & Stratton® will begin rolling out the New E-SERIES™ Initiative in 2011 to set a
new standard of engine performance across our small vertical shaft engine ranges.

The New E-SERIES Initiative will place reduced exhaust emissions at the heart of all
engines performance. Our commitment will be to surpass the European Exhaust
Emissions Standards by at least 25%.

THE RIGHT POWER FOR YOUR LAWN

Your lawnmower is only as powerful and durable as the engine that drives it.
The 400E and 500E-SERIES engines are ideal to power lawnmowers for gardens
up to 600 square meters.

The New E-SERIES Initiative is not just about emissions, it is also about an evolution
in overall standards that will widen choice and enhance the end user experience.
The founding principles of power, reliability and durability remain core to the Briggs
& Stratton value proposition. In addition the New E-SERIES Initiative will ensure that
these principles further evolve to include easier starting, improved performance and
enhanced customer experience.

Core to the New E-SERIES Initiative will be the introduction of two new engines,
the 400E* and 500E-SERIES. These new engines will meet the New E-SERIES
standards which will establish a new level of performance in its class.

Between now and the end of 2014 all Briggs & Stratton small vertical shaft
engines will perform to the new E-SERIES standards.

TORQUE

Torque is simply the strength of the turning force the engine delivers to the blade
of your lawnmower. The more torque your engine has the easier it is to cut longer,
thicker grass. By incorporating the latest engine design technologies the New
E-SERIES engines ensure optimal torque and efficiency. Better efficiency means
more torque and lower emissions from a smaller engine displacement.
