Generator Transfer Switch

I have a Voltage 3950 and the generator doesn't power anything when it is cranked up. No outlets...no microwave...nothing. I am not sure what its supposed to power to be honest. I am think the transfer switch could be bad or maybe the gen isn't even connected to it. Where would the transfer switch be and what do they look like? Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Not sure about yours, but my transfer switch (ATS) was in the basement. It was a black box about 6" X 6" X 12" and has 3 large cables going into it. The cables are about the size of your outside shore power cable. One would go to your breaker box, one to your incoming shore power cable and one to your generator. When you power up your generator it should make a loud click noise. Best of luck with your problem.
