The genset does not have a connection between the neutral and ground. This is common. You need to make a dummy plug that ties the neutral and ground together. This will lie to the Surge Guard.
I had to do this with my 2KW Generator using an ADAPTER with the SHORE POWER CORD plugged into the 120VAC connector on the generator... My problem was one of my GFCI receptacle was tripping on me...

Don't know if this will solve your problem or not but this does tie the GROUND and NEUTRAL connections together coming from the generator...
