First thing broke and only one trip in...

I went out today to cycle the genny and my LP/CO detector was beeping. I didn't smell gas but checked around...what I did smell was burnt circuit board.

I seems that it was a "fault" code beeping so on opening up the unit sure enough, it had a burnt component. I am hoping this $80 item was my "initiation"

;)

    Ridiculus comments. FR bears no responsibility for the detectors on board.
    Further more, My FR Wildcat was more reliable than my new Arctic Fox and parts of it were built better too.

    First we do is disable the LP/CO/low voltage detector as half the time they don't work right anyways. Vents and at least one window is always open any ways.

    Probably time for new LP/CO Detector anyway.....they have a 5-7 year life span (sensors die)
