Frequently Asked Questions - DES-330 Truper

What type of fuel should I use?

Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher, mixed with high-quality 2-cycle oil at a ratio of 40:1 (gasoline:oil). Do not use pre-mixed fuel from service stations or automotive oil.

How do I start the hedge trimmer?

For a cold start: set the switch to ON, press and release the primer bulb 10 times, move the choke lever upwards, press the trigger release and throttle trigger simultaneously, then pull the starter handle up to 4 times. If the engine doesn't start, move the choke lever downwards and pull up to 6 times.

How do I switch between blade and nylon line?

To install the blade: press the turn table onto the cutter head, set the blade with correct rotation direction, add flange, cover, and lock nut, then tighten counterclockwise using the included wrench while blocking the axis with an Allen key. For the nylon line spool: press the turn table onto the cutter head, add flange, block the axis, and screw the spool on counterclockwise. Use the guard with protection for line mode, and remove the protection for blade mode.

How often should I clean the air filter?

Clean the air filter as frequently as necessary to keep it always clean. Tap it lightly against a flat surface or use compressed air on both sides. For thorough cleaning, wash in soapy water, rinse, and let it dry completely before reinstalling.

What spark plug does the DES-330 use?

The engine uses a NGK BPMR7A spark plug with an electrode gap of 0.025 inches. Replace it once a year with an identical plug.

How do I lubricate the gearbox?

Add lithium-based multiple use grease every 25 hours of operation. Insert the grease device into the nipple and pump twice.

What should I do if the engine won't start?

Check for spark by removing the spark plug, connecting the cable, and pulling the starter handle. If no spark, replace the spark plug. Check for fuel by pressing the primer bulb; if fuel doesn't appear, the system may be blocked. If the engine is flooded, remove the spark plug, set choke down, and pull the starter 15-20 times to clear excess fuel, then reinstall the plug and try starting.

Can I use the hedge trimmer in wet conditions?

The manual does not specify wet conditions, but it is designed for outdoor use. However, always avoid contact with power lines and water sources to reduce the risk of electric shock or damage. Use caution on wet grass as it may be slippery.

How do I store the hedge trimmer for long periods?

Drain the fuel tank into an approved container. Run the engine until it stops to burn residual fuel. Clean the tool thoroughly and store it in a ventilated area away from corrosive agents and out of reach of children.

Where can I get service or repairs?

• Clean the tool thoroughly.
• Store the unit in a ventilated area, away from corrosive agents such as garden chemical products or de-icing salt. Keep it away from the reach of children.
• Obey all the government regulations concerning fuel handling and management.

Troubleshooting

Problem Cause Solution

Motor does not start.	·There is no spark.	·Check the spark. Remove the motor cover. Remove the spark plug from the cylinder. Connect the spark plug cable and set it onto the motor cylinder with the metallic side touching the cylinder. Pull the starter handle and watch the spark in the spark plug electrode. If there is no spark, repeat the test with a new spark plug.
	·No fuel.	·Press the primer bulb until the fuel is visible in the choke. If the fuel is not visible, it means that the fuel primary supply system is blocked. Contact a TRUPER® Authorized Service Center. If the primer bulb is filled with fuel, it means the motor is flooded.
	·The motor is flooded.	·With the switches in the OFF position, remove the spark plug. Set the choke lever downwards and pull the choke lever 15 to 20 times to eliminate the excessive fuel from the motor. Clean the spark plug and set it back. Follow the normal start up procedure (see page 9). If the motor is not starting, move the choke lever downwards and repeat the starting procedure. If the motor is still not starting, repeat the procedure with a new spark plug.
	·The starter handle is difficult to pull out when new.	·Take the tool to a TRUPER® Authorized Service Center.
