I'll also share my non-condensed list for MEP-002a (hooked up via inlet box) that fits on an 8x11 sheet of paper for my wife who has been trained to follow it via a few practice runs. I have it posted by breaker panel and on the generator itself:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** House Generator Activation Sequence ***
Before leaving house, temporarily switch off the 2kW Espresso Machine
Step A. Garage Breaker Panel Box:
1. Switch Main Disconnect 200 Amp Breaker to “OFF” position
2. Switch “OFF” ALL BREAKERS in Breaker Panel (flip to outside edges),
3. Arm the Power Back alarm by turning on
Generator on Trailer:
1. If not connected, Connect generator cable to house inlet box; twist to lock
2. Turn off power strip button for the 2 “Battery Minders”
3. Turn on Batteries by tightening disconnect switch (black knob between batteries)
4. Verify fuel in tank for anticipated run time and MAKE SURE vent cap is set OPEN as well as Aux Tank
5. Verify rear trailer stabilizer leg down locked & parking brakes set
6. Put on ear muffs!
7. Use “Start Procedure” on side panel (use Aux/Run pos) warm up ~5 min
8. Turn on (Flip Up) Generator AC Circuit Breaker
9. If necessary: Adjust Voltage to 120 V /adj throttle to 61.5 Hz (no load) use Kill-A-Watt to verify
Step B. Garage Breaker Panel Box:
4. Slide Interlock plate up towards Main Breaker (which should already be OFF)
5. Switch 50 amp Breaker labeled “Generator Breaker” to ON
6. Switch ON desired circuit breakers (green dot markings with largest loads first)
Generator is running in 120/240 1 phase; output is ~26 Amp output per 120 V circuit leg. Be careful when running heavy loads (dryer). Turn off Espresso Machine, etc. if dryer on.
*** Return to Normal Utility Power ***

1. Disarm Power Back alarm
2. Switch OFF 50 Amp Breaker labeled “Generator” in Garage
3. Slide Interlock plate down and away from Main Breaker
4. Temporarily Turn off all breakers

2. Then turn Generator to “OFF” on its control panel, leave throttle alone!
Step B. Garage Breaker Panel Box:
5. At garage breaker panel Switch ON Utility Main 200 Amp Breaker
6. At garage breaker panel Switch ON all Breakers in Breaker Box one-by-one
*** Static Storage ***
- Leave cable to inlet box connected unless moving trailer
- Refill fuel tank with diesel and fuel additives, log run Hrs. Check oil level, inspect for leaks!
- Disconnect batteries using battery disconnect switch and turn on Batt Chgr power strip

Anyway, hope my list in addition to "CSHeath's", might help others not having a "anyone can do it" list yet.
