From a post at smokestak : the following mod is easier;
Set the switch to 240 single phase. L1 and L2 are your two hot lines. Install a jumper from S1-5 to S1-6. L0 will now be neutral. Don't use any other switch
As long as it is putting out 240 single phase you should be all set your house breaker panel picks it 120 off one leg or the other to even out the load on both sides of Gen. hope posts helped Good Luck
set the unit to 240 single phase you should get 240 volts between L1 and L2 and 120 volts between L0 and L1 or L0 and L2 ( L0 is nuetral L1 hot L2 hot unit should have a ground lug on the side of the frame)

On my fire depts 939 we replaced the muffler with one from a truck parts store I do not remember the part number but I measured the one on the truck and they matching it close you would have to look close to see its not OEM I did weld flanged on it so it clamped on with the original clamps. Good...
