From Reese. Instructions for sway control bar.
NO3. The handle is an On/off devise. The bolt below (7)is for adjustment only.
No4. When towing in slippery conditions such as wet, icy, or snow covered roads, or on loose gravel. Turn On/off handle counterclockwise until ALL tension is removed from unit. Failure to do so could prevent tow vehicle from turning properly.
So you don't need to argue with me. You need to argue with Reese. Me? I'm with them. Maybe it's not me who doesn't understand the unit.
Clearly. A TT should not sway without a sway bar, as you aren't supposed to use it in slippery conditions.
