You never lube the bar itself. I just looked at the Installation instructions and you are correct, they do say to "lubricate all moving parts" on P.10 of the manual. The instructions, as printed there under "after use", are wrong. They are talking about the the threads of the handle and adjustment bolt and also the balls where the sway bat attaches. They are NOT talking about the slider bar itself. I have no idea why Harbor Freight says to do so. Maybe, the manual was written by some idiot who has never towed anything in his/her life.

Like all things from HF the instructions were written by someone in a county tens of thousands of miles from our country that doesn't speak our language or more than likely does not even know what the part is made for.
