1. Product Overview
The Marathon 02310 Pneumatic Air-Filled Hand Truck and All-Purpose Tires are designed for various utility equipment applications. These tires are 10.2 inches in diameter and feature a 2.25-inch offset hub with 5/8-inch ball bearings. They are sold as a 2-pack and come pre-mounted on solid steel gray wheels for convenient installation.
This tire and wheel assembly is commonly used on air compressors, hand trucks (dollies), generators, pressure washers, and other utility equipment. The tube-type design simplifies flat tire repairs by allowing for inner tube replacement rather than the entire assembly. The sawtooth tread provides a balance of traction and maneuverability, supporting a load capacity of 300 pounds.
2. Compatibility and Measurement
To ensure proper fit, it is crucial to check your existing tire's sidewall and measurements before installation. The Marathon 02310 tires have a size of 4.10/3.50-4 inches and a diameter of 10.2 inches. The hub features a 2.25-inch offset and accommodates 5/8-inch ball bearings.
3. Installation
The Marathon 02310 tires come pre-mounted on solid steel gray wheels, simplifying the installation process. Included axle caps and cap nuts are used to secure the tire assemblies onto the axle for a proper fit.
Installation Steps:
- Remove the old wheel assembly from your equipment's axle.
- Ensure the axle is clean and free of debris.
- Slide the new Marathon 02310 tire and wheel assembly onto the axle.
- Secure the wheel using the provided axle caps and cap nuts. Ensure they are tightened sufficiently to hold the wheel in place without restricting its rotation.
- Verify that the wheel spins freely and is securely attached before using the equipment.
4. Maintenance
The tube-type design of these tires makes maintenance straightforward, particularly for flat repairs. Instead of replacing the entire assembly, you can simply install and inflate a new inner tube.
Bearing Replacement (if needed):
If the bearings require replacement, follow these general steps:
- Place the wheel on a stable surface with gaps underneath to allow the bearing to be pushed out.
- Using a screwdriver or similar tool, press on the edge of the bearing/bushing to dislodge it.
- Once disassembled, carefully remove the old bearing.
- Install the new bearing by tapping on its outer ring. Avoid hitting the inner ring, as this can damage the bearing. For novices, stacking a bushing of the same size on the bearing can help prevent damage to the inner ring during installation.
