I know this subject has been beat to death. I know so because of the many hours I have spent looking for an answer to my particular set up and have found none with confidence. Thanks in advance for any and all replies. I have a new Wgen12000 DF that I plan on powering one Main breaker box with 50 amp and another Main breaker box with 30 amp both with interlocks. No transfer switches installed. My question is whether or not I need to attach a neutral to the frame of the generator. AND.......if I do need to ground the generator, can I attached it to the grounding rod for the home or do I need to pound a separate one into the ground 8 feet. I have attached what the manual says about floating the ground. Thanks again everyone.

My daughter came across this while helping a friend paint her living room.
