To properly clean a ball mount, begin by scrubbing it with a warm, soapy cloth or sponge, then rinse it off thoroughly. For tougher areas of dirt accumulation, you may need to use a soft-bristled brush to get the job done. Once you’ve completely cleaned the surface of the ball mount, take care to wipe away any leftover moisture and dry it with a lint-free cloth. Be sure to also apply an appropriate protective treatment on the metal components so that rust does not form. With regular cleaning and maintenance, your ball mount will remain in pristine condition for years to come!
To perform standard maintenance on your ball mount includes cleaning and more. This involves routinely removing dirt, debris and salt build-up that can corrode the finish of the ball mount and cause rust or other damage.

Your technical manual will be able to provide further instructions or any specific rules regarding the upkeep of your ball mount’s components. Following these steps will help you ensure that you can use your ball mount for many miles and years to come.
