2.
Tighten all mounting and sealing points; replace
damaged seals/gaskets or use silicon to seal.
Loud, repetitious
noise, or excessive
vibration coming
from dust collector
(non-motor
related).

Dust collector not on a flat surface
and wobbles/casters not locked.
1.
Stabilize dust collector; lock casters.
2.
Impeller damaged and unbalanced.
