GÜTTLER machines are durable, robust and reliable. Even so, targeted care of your machines after the season and before winter should not be underestimated. We have put together the most important points in a checklist to make the job easier for you.

25 years of use and more
Many customers have been working with GÜTTLER AVANT and DUPLEX® front presses and prism rollers for 25 years or more. Our other products have not been in the range for quite as long, but they too are very robust, durable and reliable.
Checklist
After cleaning the machine, we recommend checking the following points:
Bolted connections
Please check that all bolted connections are tight.
Bearings and joints
Please check that the grease nipples work, check the bearings and joints for fit and wear, and grease them. If there is significant play, we recommend replacing the parts.
Wear parts
Please replace worn and defective wear parts with genuine GÜTTLER spare parts.
Roller segments
Please check for play. If it is more than 8 mm, please retension the roller segments.
Hydraulic system
Please check the hydraulic system for leaks and correct function.
Seed tank
Please check the seed hoses for leaks and damage. We recommend blowing out the seed tank with compressed air.
Tyres
Please check the tyre pressures to avoid flat spots caused by the long period of standing. On prism rollers, the load on the transport wheels can be relieved by raising the machine, which greatly reduces the strain. This makes the tyres last longer. However, it is not strictly necessary.
Safety decals
Please replace damaged or missing safety decals – ideally by ordering them straight from GÜTTLER Service.
Lighting
Please check the lighting for damage and correct function. You will find help with checking your machine in the operating manual or at www.guettler.de
Genuine spare parts are available from your GÜTTLER dealer. We will be happy to help you with specification and ordering: service@guettler.de
Look after your machines and they will look after you
Please find a good, suitable place for your GÜTTLER machines where they are dry and protected from the weather. Many farmers spray their machines with bio-based spray oil to protect them from rust. This prevents increased wear, e.g. on tines and points, the first time they are used in the new season.
