Using your Blue Diamond Severe Duty Grapple Rake is easy. First, attach it securely to your skid steer. Then, you can start raking up debris, branches, or other materials. When using, make sure to keep a steady speed and avoid hitting hard objects that could damage the tines or teeth. For maintenance, regularly check the tines and teeth for wear and tear. Replace the teeth when they are too worn out. Also, keep the dual top clamps clean and lubricated to ensure smooth operation. Store the rake in a dry place when not in use to prevent rusting.
