Mixed Commercial And Residential Installation - Perkins D6500 Installation & Operational Manual

When performing a commercial installation, the same procedure of the residential installation must be
followed with these additional steps:
Recess The Cart Lifter
When a truck is provided with
commercial container locks, the OEM will
usually add an extended bumper over
the original load sill.
To mount a cart lifter to a truck like this,
you must recess the cart lifter by cutting
a notch in the extended load sill.
Cut a notch that will leave a 2" gap on
either side of the lifter.
Do not cut into the original load sill. The
original load sill is a structural member of
the tailgate and must not be severed or
the structural integrity of the tailgate will
be compromised, leading to distortion
and failure.
Note: Be careful not to cut into the original load sill or else the structural integrity of the tailgate can be
compromised. It may be necessary to add custom structure reinforcements where the lifter is to be mounted.
