    The maximum amount of weight that can be lifted is limited by the pressure relief valve. The settings must be determined with a pressure gauge. The SSP I – B(D6500) requires 1650 psi to lift a 400 lb load. Place a pressure gauge after the hand valve and run the actuator until it stops, continue activating the handle and note the pressure on the gauge.

  • Page 18 With the system off and depressurized, find the pressure line that feeds the packer valve and disconnect it. Connect this pressure line to the “IN” port of the Perkins diverter valve. Connect the “OUT” port of the diverter valve back to the packer control valve where the pressure line originally was.
  • Page 19 The Perkins Diverter Valve Ordinarily, the diverter valve’s port “P” will feed the lifter. But, if you have two lifters, then you will use the Perkins Double Diverter Valve. It’s the same valve, except port “P” is plugged, and a 50/50 splitter valve is mounted on top.
  • Page 20 Tapping into the Tank Line There are two ways to run the oil back to tank. Perkins does not suggest allowing the return oil to get pushed back into the packer control valve, because this generates back pressure and heat.
