Monoxide
Poisoning
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that
can kill. Follow these rules to control carbon
monoxide:

Do not use this burner if in an unvented,
enclosed area. Carbon monoxide may
accumulate.

Do not adjust the pressure regulator. High
pressures produce carbon monoxide.

Check flue gases for carbon monoxide. This
check requires specialized equipment.

Allow only qualified burner service persons to
adjust the burner. Special instruments and
training are required.

Read the burner manual before using.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING: Early signs of
carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the flu with
headaches, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting,
sleepiness, and confusion. If you suspect carbon
monoxide poisoning, get outside to fresh air
immediately, and then call 911. Some people are more
affected by carbon monoxide than others. These
include pregnant women, people with heart or lung
disease or anemia, those under the influence of
alcohol, and those at high altitudes. Propane/LP gas
and natural gas are both odorless. An odor-making
agent is added to each of these gases. The odor helps
you detect a gas leak. However, the odor added to
these gases can fade. Gas may be present even
though no odor exists.
