Ya, take it in the garage (with the doors open) and start your push
mower.
It should go off pretty quick. Those small engines really put it out..

I forget what brand I have -- I can check -- but when I called them
with a question I asked about putting it near the furnace to check if
it was working and the woman on the phone said not to, that it would
overload and ruin the sensor, I think.
What a Bimbo... she must have thought you were going to stick it in the flu.

Don't underestimate the ingenuity of people. I once watched someone
stick a very sensitive CO meter probe into the exhaust pipe of a car to
"test it" even after he was told it would destroy it because the CO
concentration was probably 1,000 times the design range of the unit.
