How to maintain a BTD firewood processor

A BTD firewood processor is designed for professional use and requires surprisingly little maintenance.
Regular cleaning and lubrication ensure better performance and a long service life.

Maintenance in 5 steps

1. Cleaning

After each working day, remove wood chips, dirt and resin residues.
Use compressed air or a brush – avoid using a high-pressure cleaner.

2. Lubrication via grease nipples

All models have multiple lubrication points.
Grease all nipples according to the maintenance schedule (manual) – particularly on the splitting cylinder, log clamp and guides.

3. Check the chain and saw bar

Regularly check chain tension and wear.
The automatic lubrication system prevents most issues, but it remains an important inspection point.

4. Check hydraulic connections

Watch for wear or leakage on hoses and couplings.

5. Electrical system

Inspect the controls, wiring and sensors for any signs of damage.

Low-maintenance, but not maintenance-free

The PROcompact, PROcompact-S and PROplus are built robustly with no real wear parts,
except for the chain and saw bar. Maintenance is limited but essential for reliability and safety.
