If the four steps are followed properly on each brake job, the Pro-Cut X9 RMS will operate accurately and efficiently.

STEP 1: MOUNT THE ADAPTER

The First step is to choose the proper adapter. Most passenger cars require either the four (50-687) or
five lug (50-688) Direct Fit® adapter. Some larger passenger cars and smaller trucks use the (50-693)
adapter. For most trucks and vans, use the larger adapter (50-681) or the 50-694. See the adapter guide
on pages 70-71 of this manual, or use the adapter search on the Pro-Cut website or SuperTech app for
more specific information.
Once you've selected the correct size adapter, place it over the studs or threaded holes (European vehicles)
in the correct position indicated by the adapter guide. When possible, use the nuts provided with the
machine. Tighten nuts with an open box end wrench or a torque wrench in a star pattern. Do not use high
torque impact guns to mount adapters. Nuts should be tightened to 25-30 ft. lbs. Excess torque may
damage the adapter.
Some vehicles require the use of a spacer (30-791 or 50-246) which are provided in the lathe package. If
the adapter doesn't fit flush and square, use the spacer. Sometimes the holes in the spacer are not needed
as the entire bolt pattern will fit in the center of the spacer.

WARNING
The adapters are made of
case iron, not aluminum or
steel like wheels. They are
not designed to withstand
the use of impact tools.
DO NOT USE IMPACT
GUNS TO ATTACH THESE
ADAPTERS!
Twenty to
thirty ft.-lbs. applied by
hand is plenty to secure
the adapter to the vehicle.
Excess
torque
with an impact wrench
will damage the adapters.
Warranty does not cover
this misuse.
