GENERAL CARE AND
MAINTENANCE
By
choosing an ARB Bar, you have bought a product that is one of the most sought after 4WD
products in the world. Your bar is a properly engineered, reliable, quality accessory that represents
excellent value. To keep your bar in original condition it is important to care and maintain it following
these recommendations:
Prior to exposure to the weather your bar should be treated to a Canuba based polish on all
exposed surfaces. It is recommended that this is performed on a six monthly basis or following
exposure to salt, mud, sand or other contaminants.
As part of any Pre Trip Preparation, or on an annual basis, it is recommended that a thorough
visual inspection of the bar is carried out, making sure that all bolts and other components are
torqued to the correct specification. Also check that all wiring sheaths, connectors, and fittings are
free of damage. Replace any components as necessary. This service can be performed by your
local authorized ARB Stockist.
