Care and cleaning

components close to the opening that was covered by
the rubber caps.
Spray cleaner through the opening and over the lock-
ing mechanism, then use a wire brush to remove any dirt.
Repeat until the locking mechanism is clean. Allow the
mechanism to air dry.
Repeat for the other locking mechanism.
Now that you have a clean, dry tow bar, use a dry
silicone aerosol, such as LubeMaster (part number 747,
shown on the previous page), to lubricate the tow bar —
spray a liberal amount of the silicone into all moving parts.
LubeMaster sprays on wet, then dries in seconds. After
the lubricant has dried, flex the tow bar components, to
work the lubricant in.
Spray silicone lubricant inside both of the locking mech-
anisms. After the lubricant has dried, move the release
handles up and down to work the lubricant in.
Always clean the locking mechanisms, as described
above, before lubricating them. Silicone coats and cov-
ers in a thin layer. If it is not removed, it will reduce
the clearance for the locking mechanisms, preventing

proper operation.
Extended storage
— before storing your tow bar for an
extended period of time, be sure to clean and lubricate
it as above. Store the tow bar in its cover (optional, part
number 057-2), to protect it from the elements.
Note: to remove scratches and restore luster on the
stainless steel arms, we suggest that you use extra fine
(0000) steel wool, 3M “Scotch Brite” (fine pad) or a similar
product.

DISCLAIMER OF OTHER WARRANTIES
The preceding warranties are the exclusive and sole express warranties
given by ROADMASTER. They supersede any prior, contrary or additional
representations, whether oral or written. No agent, representative, dealer
or employee has the authority to alter or increase the obligations or limita-
tions of this warranty. Any implied warranties, including the WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY and any WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, are limited in duration to thirty days or the term of the applicable
express warranty provided above, whichever is longer.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty
lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
3.
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY NONCONFORMITIES
If during the applicable Warranty Period, the product does not conform to
the preceding Warranties, notify ROADMASTER as provided below, and within
a reasonable time ROADMASTER will provide, at its option, one of the follow-
ing: (1) replacement components for any nonconforming or defective product or
components or (2) the percentage of the purchase price for the nonconforming
product equal to the percentage of the Warranty Period remaining when ROAD-
MASTER is notified of the nonconformity. ROADMASTER will, at its option, (a)
use new and/or reconditioned parts in performing warranty repairs and making
replacement products, (b) use parts or products of original or improved design
in the repair or replacement. If ROADMASTER repairs or replaces a product,
its warranty continues for the remaining portion of the original Warranty Period
or 60 days from the date of the return shipment to the customer, whichever is
greater. All replaced products and all parts removed from repaired products
become the property of ROADMASTER. ROADMASTER will not provide, and
will not be liable for, labor, costs of removal or reinstallation of components,
disposal, shipping, freight, taxes, or other incidental charges.
THESE REMEDIES ARE THE EXCLUSIVE AND SOLE REMEDIES FOR
ANY BREACH OF WARRANTY.

authorization number and a copy of the original invoice, bill or other proof of
the date of purchase. The date of purchase must coincide with the original
warranty registration card on file. ROADMASTER will authorize (a) shipment

bursed. Compliance with the requirements of this paragraph is a condition to
coverage under the Warranty: if these requirements are not complied with,
ROADMASTER will have no obligation to provide any remedy for any breach
of warranty.
