Maintenance Tips
- Auger and Impeller Inspection: Regularly inspect the auger blades and impeller for wear, damage, or obstructions. Replace worn or damaged parts promptly to maintain optimal performance.
- Shear Pin Replacement: Always use the correct shear pins specified for your Murray 624808X31C. Keep extra shear pins on hand, as they are designed to break under stress to protect the auger and gearbox.
- Fuel Stabilization: Before storing your snow blower for the off-season, add fuel stabilizer to the gasoline tank to prevent fuel degradation and carburetor issues.
- Skid Shoe Adjustment: Adjust the skid shoes to the appropriate height for your surface. Adjust them higher for gravel driveways to prevent the auger housing from digging in.
