A “three-wire-start” generator has two or more starting circuits.  It usually has a separate switch or 
position for cranking the generator.  The AUX terminals cannot control this type of generator without 
using a three-wire to two-wire conversion kit. 
Atkinson Electronics (http://atkinsonelectronics.com) makes these kits, among other companies.  
The Atkinson GSCM-Mini is designed to work with OutBack inverters and others. 
The drawing below is one example of a possible arrangement.  Specific arrangements, relays, and 
other elements depend on the requirements of the installation and of the generator.
