Tow bar Maintenance and Care.
Hayman Reese recommends that bolt torque’s, as listed below, are routinely and regularly inspected and
checked for correct tension. Replace any worn or defective parts.
We recommended to remove Tow Ball Mounts (TBM’s, tongues or lugs) when not being used for any
considerable length of time.
So as to avoid injury, when not towing it is suggested that the tongue, Pull Pin and R-clip are removed then
stored in a safe, clean and dry place, away from excessive moisture.
Hitch Pull Pins and spring “R” clips are regularly checked for proper installation. Replace any worn or
defective parts.
