By the term "hardwire" I meant to connect the cable directly to the generator terminals without using the receptacle and plug.
Of course, there will be some who will say that this will violate the UL listing, but it will actually be safer.
There is no need for a receptacle in this type of installation, unless you want the generator to remain portable.
It will not be possible to safely use cord connected tools by plugging into the generator receptacle if you disconnect the neutral-to-frame bonding jumper.
