Husqvarna 460 Rancher 24 in 60cc Gas Chainsaw OILER FAIL Error Fix: Automatic Chain Oiler Not Working

Error code OILER FAIL on the Husqvarna 460 Rancher 24 in 60cc Gas Chainsaw means: Automatic Chain Oiler Not Working. The chain and bar are not receiving oil from the automatic oiling system — the guide bar will overheat and the chain will wear rapidly without lubrication; check the bar oil tank level and fill with Husqvarna bar and chain oil; the oil delivery port on the bar can become clogged with sawdust and wood chips; remove the bar and clean the oil hole and the groove around the bar with a thin wire; the oil pump is driven by the engine and can fail from wear or debris; if oil is in the tank but not reaching the bar, the oil pump may need replacement
