It does look like it is switchable between 120 and 240. The only question I have is about the schematic, it appears that when it is in 240v mode, there is no neutral on the 240v outlet. If that is the case, it would be easy to correct by running a wire from the brown jumper in the schematic to the neutral pin on the connector.
If you want to connect the genset through a transfer switch into your house, you would need the neutral connected.
why in the world ? would you want a neutral on a 220 circuit / load
it's 220 because it comes from both windings, there is NO neutral in any motor or device using 220vac
the device may be grounded and bonded which would be connected to a neutral on a RESidential power circuit from the power utility but only because the neutral was bonded to ground not because the device needs a neutral wire: BUT NOT on a portable generator
