Carbon Monoxide Warning
IMPORTANT!
Carbon Monoxide – What Service Personnel Should Know!
OSHA Requirement
The CO level shall not exceed 35 ppm measured over an 8-hour period in the work environment.
How does parts per million (ppm) relate to percentage numbers?
One million parts per million equals one hundred percent of the engines exhaust gases.
•
10% CO EQUALS 100,000 PPM
•
1% CO EQUALS 10,000 PPM
•
.1% CO EQUALS 1,000 PPM
•
.01% CO EQUALS 100 PPM
For each one one-hundredth of one percent, you will have 100 ppm.
Example: .01% x 1,000,000 ppm CO = 100 ppm CO.
With adequate ventilation and following the enclosed adjustment instructions, you should be able to keep
the carbon monoxide level below the OSHA requirement.
We strongly recommend the use of a carbon monoxide analyzer.
