Hand Truck Tires

How To Install a Marathon Universal Fit Hand Truck Tire

Put on your gloves and eye protective-wear.
Put the hand truck on the ground or on a solid surface with the wheels facing up.

Remove your old tire from your hand truck axle. Typically your tire will be held on by a cotter pin, lock washer, or an axle cap.
You will need to remove the item that holds on your wheel and remove the old tire from the axle.

Your Universal Fit Hand Truck Tire comes standard with an offset hub and 5/8″ bearings. If your tire fits well, replace tire on axle and skip to step five.
If this configuration does not fit your axle, additional bushings and spacers are included.
Please see step number four for installation instructions.

If the standard 5/8″ bearings do not fit your axle , ¾” bushings have been included with your tire. Please see our “How to Change a Tire Bearing Video” at http://youtu.be/g29pW907xFI for installation instructions. If your tire is able to slide from side to side on the axle, it is important to use the provided spacers to create a tight fit. If other size axle bushings or spacers are required, please contact Marathon Customer Service at 877-425-1640 or at customerservice@marathonind.com and we will mail you other available bushings and spacers at no charge.

Replace your old tire with your new Marathon Universal Fit Hand Truck Tire and secure the tire to the axle using the item removed in step number two.
Replacement lock washers are included in the kit.

Repeat the process to replace the other hand truck tire. Enjoy the use of your newly restored hand truck!
