At GIE+EXPO 2010, Briggs & Stratton introduced QR codes on their parts products. This year, they have announced the placement of QR codes on their consumer and commercial engines.

The QR codes, which Briggs & Stratton refers to as Power Codes, direct users to many useful resources when scanned, including troubleshooting guidelines.

"For turf and construction professionals, equipment downtime on the jobsite causes frustration and costs money," said Dan Roche, marketing manager for Briggs & Stratton Commercial Power. "The Vanguard Power Code gets immediate information directly to the operator regardless of where they are located so they can get back to work quickly. That means fewer trips back to the shop and more projects done on-time."

In addition to jobsite troubleshooting guidelines, other highlights of the Vanguard Power Code include:

• Dealer locator — via GPS or zip code search

• FAQs — includes answers to operation and maintenance questions

• Parts lists — common replacement parts for the specific engine

• Recommended maintenance instructions and schedules — includes oil recommendations

• Advanced troubleshooting information — for more technical engine repairs at the shop

• Owner’s manuals —by request or PDF download to the user’s phone

• Language preference — All Vanguard Power Codes will have information available in English or Spanish
