It is so simple, it is elegant.
I'm not sure just how the shutdown circuitry works on the generator, does it latch so that once the shutdown begins it does not let the generator continue to run if/when the shutdown signal returns to normal??
I would be tempted to add a large bypass capacitor between the variable resistor and zener, so that a momentary high-voltage fluctuation would not trigger a shutdown, but during a real shutdown event it would help keep the relay energized while the generator spins down.
