Inspecting back up generator

Client asked me to inspect the back up generator. How would one go about this?

Thanks for your help, Chip

I think it might be good idea to pass this on to an Installer of these systems.

I would pass on it.

Not because I don’t know how to use them but because they are well beyond the scope of a home inspection.

Their complexity can vary greatly.

Propane, natural gas, gasoline, diesel

automatic transfer switch, manually interlocked limited circuit cut over, Plug in unit.

Too many variables to get a bead on it.

I agree with Roy and Michael. Just curious what type of generator?

I agree that I should just pass it on.
