After looking through the tm I am unsure of what component is missing. The red alligator clip is powering the
fuel pump. Generator starts and runs smoothly. The bundle of white wires obviously need to be connected to something. I
am not sure to what though.
Thanks for your help

What you are missing is the Contactor. It's a high current relay that sends power from the inverter to the output lugs.
The the item with the blue sticker on it below.
Be careful. Some of those disconnected wires have 120 and/or 240 volts on them!

Thank you. I really appreciate your help. I am off to source a contact. Is there a brand or provider that you would recommend ?

The contactor has been delivered. The larger gauge wires are labeled, so I have been able to wire them correctly. The smaller wires with spade type connectors are not labeled. What is the best way to identify each of the smaller wires and their corresponding location on the contactor?
