The error is because the generator has no neutral-ground bond like the main utility breaker panel.
You can use bypass or make a bonding plug. To make a bonding plug... get a replacement plug from the hardware store. Get a 100,000 ohm 1/2 watt or 1 watt resistor from the electronics supply house. Connect the neutral and ground pins within the plug. No cord gets attached. Insert the plug into one of the generator outlets and the error will clear.
Or, just use plain old wire. Be sure you don't connect anything to the hot prong though.

Thanks! Good to know there's nothing wrong with my EMS or my installation.
Just to be sure, you're supposed to connect one end of the 100k ohm resistor to the ground and the other end of the resistor to the neutral (silver or larger blade on the 110 volt plug), correct?
Absolutely correct.
