- Today we're working with Bushranger
chainsaws and Prokut chain.
And looking at refueling using Bushranger two-stroke oil
with fuel stabilizer.
And also Prokut Bar and Chain oil.

The mix that you might need
will depend on the size of the container
and how much work that you need to do.
In this case here, I've got a 10-liter
commercial bottle for our tree crew.
You however, may want a smaller container.
Mixing the right amount of fuel ensures that you will use it
and can mix new fuel when you need
to use it again in the future.
However, the fuel stabilizing properties
of modern two-strokes allow you
to keep two-stroke fuel for longer.
To mix the fuel, decide how much that you need.
10 liters of chainsaw fuel will require
200 ml of two-stroke oil, mixed out 50 to one.
That is one part
of Bush Ranger two-stroke oil,
to 50 parts of Petrol.
Taking the lid off the compartment here,
this container has easy measuring built in.
20, 40, 60, 80, 100.
Simply, squeeze the bottle filling up the compartment
to 100 ml
and add to our fuel container.
For safety and so we remember,
I always like to add the two-stroke oil first,
then go to the service station and fill up.
That way you'll always know that you've got
the two-stroke oil in there.
Simply pour in the oil and do that twice.
Then fill up with 10 liters.
When you're finished mixing two-stroke fuel,
ensure that your container is properly sealed up
tight and keep it in a cool place.
Best to keep it out of direct sunlight.
To fuel a chainsaw, some key important things to remember
is that two-stroke will be marked with the fuel symbol
with a little oil drop, notifying you that it requires
oiled two-stroke fuel, which we've just mixed up.
On the other end we can see a chainsaw tooth
stamped into the chainsaw
indicating this is for lubrication.
For lubrication, we'll use
the Prokut oil and we're gonna use the fuel
that we've just filled up.
Tipping the saw on the side
is the best way to stabilize the saw
when we're doing these activities.
If we've just finished using the chainsaw, wait five minutes
for it to cool down.
This will ensure that we won't have
a spark or ignition source.
Slowly take the cap off incase it's pressurized.
And pull it off until we can see it.
Prepare your fuel container.
And carefully add fuel to the chainsaw
ensuring that we don't spill it over the saw.
Before we do anything else,
pack everything away, especially the fuel
so we don't bump it over and get a spill or waste the fuel.
Right.
Now...
The fuel's done,
we now have to do the lubrication, oil side of things.
And remember, the manufacturer has designed the chainsaw
to use one tank of fuel to one tank of lubrication.
Undo the oil cap place it aside.
We can now take out Prokut oil lubrication and fill.
Again, put the lids on straightaway.
And I like to double check each time that they're tight.
We're now fueled and ready to go.
