CONNECTING LOADS
THE TITAN INDUSTRIAL INC. MODEL TG 5500D is a
diesel engine driven, revolving field, alternating current (AC)
generator designed to supply electrical power for com-
patible electrical tools, motors, appliances, and lighting
(see wattage reference guide on page 6).
The Model TG 5500D operates at 120 volt and/or 240 volt,
single phase, and will operate devices that require up to
4200 watts, continuous and 4800 watts surge.
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
is located on the control panel. Connect 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.

DIESEL POWERED
ELECTRIC GENERATOR
Add up the Watts of all devices you connect to the TI-
TAN INDUSTRIAL GENERATOR at one time. Do not ex-
ceed 4800 Watts on (see wattage reference guide page
6), These are approximate wattages.
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 INDUSTRIAL GENERATOR supplies cor-
rect rated frequency and voltage when running at the
proper governed speed. Incorrect frequency and/or volt-
age could damage connected electrical devices.
