Produkt overview
The Rough Country 10097 UTV Wheel Adapter is designed to convert a 4x156mm bolt pattern to a 4x136mm or 4x137mm bolt pattern. This allows for the use of Can-Am wheels on Polaris UTVs. Additionally, these adapters function as 1-inch wheel spacers, providing a wider stance and accommodating wider tires. Constructed from durable 6061-T6 Aluminum, these adapters are corrosion-resistant and built to withstand various environmental conditions.

Opsætning og installation
Installation of wheel adapters should ideally be performed by a certified technician. Proper knowledge of installation procedures and post-installation checks is crucial for safety and optimal performance. The adapters are sold in pairs and include 10mm and 12mm lug nuts for attachment to the UTV. 12mm-1.5 lug nuts are required to attach the wheel to the adapter.
Generelle installationstrin:
- Sørg for, at køretøjet står på en stabil, plan overflade og er korrekt understøttet.
- Remove the existing wheel from the UTV.
- Clean the surface of the UTV's hub to ensure proper seating of the adapter.
- Place the Rough Country 10097 wheel adapter onto the UTV's hub, aligning the bolt patterns.
- Secure the adapter to the UTV's hub using the provided 10mm or 12mm lug nuts. Torque these nuts to manufacturer specifications.
- Mount the desired wheel (e.g., Can-Am wheel) onto the newly installed adapter, using 12mm-1.5 lug nuts. Torque these nuts to the wheel manufacturer's specifications.
- Lower the vehicle and ensure all connections are secure.

Driftsmæssige overvejelser
Once installed, the wheel adapters enable the use of wheels with a 4x136mm or 4x137mm bolt pattern on UTVs originally designed for a 4x156mm pattern. The 1-inch spacing provided by the adapters will result in a wider track width for the vehicle, which can affect handling characteristics and tire clearance. Always ensure adequate clearance between the tires and any vehicle components, especially during full suspension travel and steering lock.

Opretholdelse
Regular maintenance is critical for the safe operation of your UTV with wheel adapters. It is the owner's responsibility to perform the following checks:
- Indledende kontrol: After the first 500 miles of driving, check all bolts and nuts for tightness.
- Rutinetjek: Re-check all bolts and nuts for tightness every 1,000 miles thereafter.
- Professionel inspektion: At least every 3,000 miles, have a qualified, professional mechanic inspect the wheel alignment, steering system, suspension, and driveline systems.
- Ensure all mating surfaces are properly cleaned before re-torquing to prevent improper seating.
Vigtig sikkerhedsbemærkning: Improper usage or installation may cause lug nuts/bolts to break or loosen while driving, potentially leading to accidents or injury. Always torque lug nuts/bolts to manufacturer specifications using a torque wrench. Avoid using impact wrenches for final tightening; a hand wrench is recommended.
Fejlfinding
Hvis du støder på problemer under eller efter installationen, skal du overveje følgende:
- Problemer med tilpasning: If the adapter does not sit flush on the UTV hub, ensure the hub surface is completely clean and free of rust or debris. Some UTV models may require minor modifications (e.g., tapering the middle portion) for a flush fit.
- Wheel Stud Interference: If factory wheel studs or lug nuts make contact with the back of the new wheels, this will prevent proper seating. Do not proceed with installation if this occurs. It may be necessary to trim the factory studs if they are too long and interfere with the wheel.
- Incorrect Lug Nuts: Ensure you are using the correct lug nuts for both attaching the adapter to the UTV (10mm or 12mm, included) and attaching the wheel to the adapter (12mm-1.5, not included). Incorrect lug nut size or type can lead to improper tightening and safety hazards.
- Vibrationer: If vibrations occur after installation, re-check all lug nut torques and ensure the wheel spacer sits perfectly flat on the vehicle mounting surface. Any surface contamination can cause vibrations.
