MODEL TG 7500ES
GAS POWERED
ELECTRIC GENERATOR
DESCRIPTION
TITAN MODEL TG7500ES is a gas engine driven, revolv-
ing field, alternating current (AC) generator designed to
supply electrical power for compatible electrical tools, mo-
tors, appliances, and lighting (see wattage reference guide
on page 8 ).
The Model TG 7500ES operates at 120 volt and/or 240
volt, single phase, 60 Hz and will operate devices that
require up to 6000watts continuous, 7400 surge watts.

CONNECTING LOADS

Add up the Watts of all devices you connect to the Titan
Generator at one time. Do not exceed 6000 Watts on
Titan Generator Model TG 7500ES (see wattage refer-
ence guide).
The rated Watts of most electrical devices can be found
on its nameplate. The rated Watts of lights can be taken
from the light bulbs. In cases where only Volts and Amps
are shown on the nameplate, simply multiply Volts by
the Amps to get Watts (Volts X Amps = Watts).
Some electric motors require about three times the rated
Watts of power for start-up. This surge of power is re-
quired for only a few seconds. Be sure to allow for this
high starting wattage when selecting electrical devices
to connect to the generator.
First, figure the watts needed to start the largest motor.
Add to that figure the running watts of all other con-
nected loads.
Please see the Wattage Reference Guide.
It provides an estimated approximation of running watts,
to help determine which devices to select to connect to
the generator.
CAUTION! Do not tamper with engine governed speed.
The TITAN Generator supplies correct rated frequency
and voltage when running at the proper governed speed.
Incorrect frequency and/or voltage could damage con-
nected electrical devices.

GROUNDING THE GENERATOR

It is required by The National Electrical Code to have
the frame and all external conductive parts of the gen-
erator connected to an earth ground. Proper grounding
also satisfies most local electrical codes.
Connect a No. 12 AWG standard copper wire to the
Grounding Lug Block (See Figure 1). The grounding
lug can be found on the front of the contorl panel. Con-
nect the other end of the wire to an earth driven copper or
brass grounding rod (electrode).
CAUTION! Do not connect ground to a preexisting
ground rod, water pipe, or building frame.
Consult with a licensed electrician in your area because
local codes vary. Properly grounding the generator helps
prevent electrical shock if a ground fault condition exists
in the generator or in connected electrical devices. This
will also help to dissipate static electricity resulting from
ungrounded devices.
