Carbon monoxide levels from propane forklifts

Our Nissan propane forklift has 12,000 hrs on it and it has started to emit high levels of carbon monoxide. We have taken it out of service and we are having it serviced by technicians. The technicians seem not to be able to bring the level down to acceptable levels. What are the acceptable levels to be safe for our employees.

i believe if you put a CO Analyzer on it it should be between.5-.7 % , i believe this is what OSHA recommends. This is what i shoot for when doing Exhaust analyis with my Blanke 2500 analyzer.
