For sure, you' want to BREAK open the main breaker fed from the Utility BEFORE you MAKE the genset connection WELL DUH. In the picture you have to BREAK open the main BEFORE you are able to close the breaker to MAKE the genset connection !!!!!!!
Those slide lock outs are an easy n cheap method to use a genset to feed the panelboard and NOT backfeed the utility with the genset
