Default Right way to wire a generator tranfser switch?

I am not Electrician and in many places have they own code
however if any connection is to be done it should be inside some
type of electrical enclosure, it could be same panel where switch,
Switch-over is located or separate, as long there is enough of room
I believe that you neighbored is full of?

Hi Readers,

The installation instructions for the generator transfer switch I want
to buy (figure 4 on page 5 of
http://www.reliancecontrols.com/Docu...structions.pdf)
indicate that I'm to leave neatly placed wire nuts as connections
inside the circuit breaker panel box. My neighbor (with some
construction knowledge) says doing so would be an electrical code
violation: he says there should be no wire nuts within the panel
box.
Is it a code violation?
If so, what would be the "correct" way?

Thanks for advice,
Theodore.
