Using the Blue Diamond® Series 2 Heavy Duty Rotating Angle Broom is a breeze. If you've got the hydraulic model, you can control it right from your skid - steer cab with the simple control. Just turn it on and start sweeping. For the manual model, you'll need to operate it in the traditional way. When not using the broom, make sure to let the retractable legs support it so that the bristles stay protected. If you choose the optional water kit, you can use it to reduce dust while sweeping. As for maintenance, check the bristles regularly for wear and tear. Replace them when they get too short. Also, keep an eye on the 14 - pin OEM connector to ensure it's in good condition. If there are any issues, refer to the 1 - year warranty for assistance.
