How to wire transfer switch

Have a transfer switch but it isn't wired since the rig didn't come with a genset. I have one of the Champion gensets from Camping world that is working well for me. But to connect it I have to use the plug from shore power. Since I have a transfer switch already I wish to wire it up so that the genset connects thur it. How do I do it, and what do I need to watch out for?

You don't say if its 30amp or 50amp but look at this link. Page 14 has both for my setup

On the transfer switch you have three sets of terminals, Depending on if it's a 30 or 50 amp switch will determine how many terminals in each set, Since the generator is only a 120 volt (single out) I will give you instructions for both.

First, locate the main power feed to the power distribution panel, Remove it, this goes to the SHORE POWER terminals on the switch

A new set of wires (Same guage or larger) goes from LOAD to the master distribution panel.

The cord from the generator goes to the GENERATOR terminals.

IF it's a 50 amp.. Then you jumper the two hots together on the Generator side.
