The plastic indicator contains a colored indicator button
that darkens in the presence of Carbon Monoxide. The
relative darkness of the indicator button indicates the
level of CO in the ambient atmosphere. Most indicator
badges have a useful life of 30 days, depending on the
concentration of contaminants, humidity, and
temperature.

TESTING


There are a great number of instruments offered on the
market to test for toxic gases. Only those designed to read
carbon monoxide resulting from combustion engines is
considered acceptable for testing exhaust emissions from
propane powered floor machines.

Lavina®13G-X
Some instruments are used to read "ambient air" and may
be damaged if used to take readings in the muffler or tail
pipe. Selecting the proper instrument is an important part
of meeting the testing requirements.
Generally speaking, units capable of reading in ppm, (parts
per million), at ranges from 0 to 1000 are adequate for
checking ambient air (air in the breathing zone of the
operator). Instruments capable of testing carbon monoxide
in the exhaust should be able to read from 0 to at least
2000 ppm and should be certified by the manufacturer for
that purpose.
Some instruments and systems used for these purposes
are:
AMBIENT AIR MONITORING
DRAGER Model 190: Manufactured by National
Drager.
SENSIDYNE gas sampling system with YB-11038
Sensidyne dectector tubes
DRAGER gas sampling system with YB-4620 Drager
detective tubes
GAS-TECH Model CO-95
ENERAC POCKET 60: Manufactured by Energy
Efficiency System
ENGINE EXHUAST ANALYZERS
HORIBA GAS ANALYZER
ENERAC 2000 COMBUSTION ANALYZER
ENERAC POCKET 60
DATA LOGGERS
INDUSTRIAL SCIENTIFIC CORP. MODEL STX-70
CO MONITOR, Data-Logger
BIOSYSTEMS INC. "TEXILOG" Data-Logger
All instruments used for testing must be calibrated at
intervals recommended by the manufacturer. The monitor,
model number and date of calibration will be recorded
with all test results.
The operator must know the machine's work environment.
Only one operator at a time can work with the machine.
The operator must be properly trained and well instructed
prior operating the machine.
The operator must understand all the instructions in this
manual.
The operator must understand and interpret all the
drawings and designs in manual.
The operator must know all sanitation and safety
regulations pertaining to the operation of machine.
The operator must have floor grinding experience.
The operator must know what to do in case of emergency.
The operator must have an adequate technical knowledge
and preparation.
The operator is expected to operate their equipment safely
and responsibly. They are responsible for the proper
handling and storage of propane cylinders, identifying
potential hazards associated with his job and avoiding
these hazards at all times.
