TIP: Keeping the Base Pins clean and lubricated will help ease the disconnect process. Use Silicone
over the entire surface of the tow bar to help preserve the nish.
Your tow bar requires regular cleaning and lubricating to assure long term trouble free
operation. Use the following guidelines when maintaining your tow bar:
Always clean the bar before lubricating. Use Roadmaster’s Voom! to clean the bar. It does
an exceptional job of breaking down road film, dirt and grease. Spray a liberal amount on the tow
bar, then operate the tow bar to work the cleaner into all of the moving parts. Spray cleaner into
the lock housing access hole (directly under the lock mechanism) and activate the lock several
times to work it in. Once you’ve cleaned the bar and wiped off the residue, extend the bar such
that the cleaner can drain out of the arms. Wipe any remaining cleaner away before lubricating.
Now that you have a clean, dry tow bar. Spray a liberal amount of Sil-
icone over the entire tow bar. Note: DO NOT SPRAY ANY SILICONE
DIRECTLY INTO THE LOCK HOUSING OR THE LOCK HOUSING
ACCESS HOLE! Silicone coats/covers in a thin layer. If you spray sili-
cone inside the lock housing, it reduces the clearance for the locking
mechanism preventing proper operation.
Proper cleaning and lubrication of the tow bar will prevent
corrosion on your tow bar and provide smooth operation.
