How To Clean Tow Bar Arms On Roadmaster Tow Bar
Question:
do you have printed instructions on how to take the arms off and clean them so they slip good? Are the instructions on the internet ?

Expert Reply:
I contacted Roadmaster about instructions on cleaning their tow bars. The representative at Roadmaster informed me that you will want to start by soaking the arms with a degreaser. Then, you will want to move the arms in and out and rinse off with water. After rinsing the arms, you will want to dry the arms thoroughly and finally spray a dry silicone spray on the arms. The representative at Roadmaster cautioned NOT to use WD-40.
Also, if the rubber boots on your tow bar are torn or worn out, it would be a good idea to replace them. If you have a Roadmaster Falcon tow bar, you will need to use the Roadmaster Square Plug, part # RM-200140-40, which is sold in a quantity of 1.
I have linked an FAQ on flat-towing that you may find as a good resource.
