Gyro Air G-700: Dust Bin Leak Detection and Adjustments

Remove the bin from the dust collector and check the rubber gasket to ensure it is in good working condition and seated properly on the bin.

Step 1 — Bin Gasket InspectionFig. 1

Reinstall the bin. Place a sheet of paper on top of the edge of the bin and latch it securely. With the bin secured, try to pull the sheet of paper to check the gap between the bin and the top of the machine.

Step 2 — Paper Test (Front)Fig. 2

Using a Metric #10 wrench or pliers, loosen and remove the two (2) lock nuts at the bottom of the latch. Adjust the four (4) hex nuts until the latch secures the bin tightly in place. Repeat Step 2 to verify the adjustment.

To check the back side of the bin for leakage, remove the back panel of the dust collector using a Metric #4 hex wrench to remove the 4 indicated screws.

Step 4 — Back Panel Screw LocationsFig. 3

Prop the front door panel slightly upward so the bin slides partially outward and rests on the hinge section of the panel. This provides easier access when performing the paper test on the back side of the bin.

From the back of the dust collector, place a sheet of paper along the edge of the bin. If needed, fold the sheet in half to prevent it from falling. Push the bin back into the locking position and secure the front latch.

Step 6 — Paper Test (Back)Fig. 4

Pull the sheet of paper to check the back seal. Check both corners of the bin.

Remove the bin to allow room to work. Using a Metric #4 hex wrench, slightly loosen the bolt securing each roller to the bin. The roller shaft is eccentric (offset) — rotate the roller to raise or lower it to achieve the correct height. Tighten the bolt, slide the bin back in, and repeat Steps 6 and 7 to verify.

Step 8 — Eccentric Roller AdjustmentFig. 5

Run the machine and visually inspect for any signs of dust leakage. If none are found, reassemble the back panel using the four (4) screws and a Metric #4 hex wrench.
