Troy-bilt 7550/13500 and transfer switch question

[mralias]

I have a troy-bilt 7550 running watts and 13500 starting. I wanted to put the following transfer switch with this unit but was concerned if it would work due to the information noted below. Specifically, it says "Compatible with 120/240 Volt, 30 amp generator output, typically 7,500 watt generator". Will the transfer switch safely work with this generator or should I seek a higher rated transfer switch. Thanks.

Ditto; good match. Starting watts isn't sustained long enough to worry about.

You probably have your heart set on a transfer switch, but I've installed this: http://tinyurl.com/5kb82p

Very cost effective.
