Using the Blue Diamond® Skid Steer Grapple Bucket is straightforward. First, make sure it's properly attached to your skid steer. When picking up materials, adjust the grapple according to the size and shape of the items. For small materials, keep the bolt - on sides on to contain them. When dealing with long items like pipes or trees, you can remove the sides. Be careful during operation, especially when using the teeth - equipped model. Avoid overloading the bucket as it can affect the lift capacity and cause damage. Regularly check the no - pinch hose routing to ensure there are no kinks or leaks. Inspect the 3/4″ top tines and heavily reinforced top clamps for any signs of wear or damage. Clean the bucket after each use to prevent debris from building up. If you notice any issues, refer to the severe - duty grapple bucket manual or spec sheet for further guidance.
