They need maintenance to insure operating smoothly. WD 40 should be sprayed on the bar that goes into the sleeve when bar is open and then cleaned and sprayed again, every time it's used. They also come with a cover that should be on when not in use. Your toad is heavy maybe 4500 LBS not 45000. So you have to have a brake system and break away cable, plus lights. Then depending what transmission you have you may need a transmission fluid pump.
Roadmastster says NEVER USE WD 4O on their tow bars. Use only a silicone lubricant. IF the bar needs serious cleaning us something like simple green. I had a road tar problem and had to use a degreaser. Followed up with lots of Simple Green then lots and lots of water. When dry, sprayed with Silicone spray and it was good as new.
You can phone them and talk to a tech--great help.
