You are slightly wrong. The breaker for utility power in the generator panel is dead they caped of those wires. There is no constant power to the generator panel. You must have the generator hooked up to back feed power to the existing fuses. No means to kill utility power simultaneously when turning the gen breaker on.

Yes I did see those wires tucked behind the buss /fuses and with wire nuts capping them off. Did you ever think that as long as one of the breakers in the tranfer panel is on it will backfeed the entire panel bypassing all the overcurrent fuses. And at the same time if the transfer breaker is "on" Generator those prongs of the twistlock will be live.

Sorry I am entirely right! this is a the most unsafe gen install I have ever seen.
