Hayman Reese recommends that you check your tow ball to ensure that it complies with the Australian standards AS 4177.2 RECOMMENDED ASSEMBLY TORQUE LISTING Diameter Grade 8.8 Bolt Nm M6 9.5 M8 21.7 M10 43.4 M12 77.3 M16 189.8 Tow bar Maintenance and Care. Hayman Reese recommends that bolt torque’s, as listed below, are routinely and regularly inspected and checked for correct tension. Replace any worn or defective parts. We recommended to remove Tow Ball Mounts (TBM’s, tongues or lugs) when not being used for any considerable length of time. So as to avoid injury, when not towing it is suggested that the tongue, Pull Pin and R-clip are removed then stored in a safe, clean and dry place, away from excessive moisture. Hitch Pull Pins and spring “R” clips are regularly checked for proper installation. Replace any worn or defective parts.
