THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING TRAILBOSS. WITH CORRECT MAINTENANCE AND CARE 
THIS PRODUCT WILL PROVIDE A LIFETIME OF TROUBLE-FREE OPERATION. 

 

 

TOWBAR MAINTENANCE AND CARE: 

 

 

1.  Trailboss recommend that the towbar LUG or TBM (Trailer Ball Mount) Pull Pin and R-clip are 

removed and stored when not in use. Removal of LUG or TBM (Trailer Ball Mount) is advisable 
when not in use to assist with any of the following.  

 

 

  Ensure rear number plate is not obscured.  

 

 

  Allow maximum available departure angle and prevent any potential interference.  

 

 

  Prevent possible interference with vehicles reverse sensors or camera detecting a tow ball 

mount as an obstruction during reversing.  

  Removes towball mount as an obstruction for when moving around the rear of the vehicle.  

 

2.  Trailboss recommends routine inspection of your towbar to ensure trouble free towing.  

 

 

  Bolt security and tension should be regularly inspected and checked for correct tension. 

Replace any worn or defective parts with suitable grade & class fasteners. Inspection 
should be requested to coincide with vehicle major services.  

 

3. 

It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure towing and down ball weight capacities of the towing 
vehicle are not exceeded.  

 

 

  Towing and down ball weights allowable may differ according to model variations. Please 

refer to owner’s manual or vehicle dealer to confirm exact rating for your vehicle model 
variant.  

 

 

  It is not uncommon for the vehicle tow rating to differ from the towbar rating. When this 

occurs, the lesser rating must be adhered to.  

  For vehicles fitted with enhanced vehicle functions that may be altered/changed when 

towing i.e Trailer sway mitigation, blind spot detection, adaptive cruise control etc. Please 
consult owner’s manual to understand changes enabled when towing and after towing.
