Locate the Hand Valve Assembly
A suitable location for the hand
valve assembly should be found on
the side of the truck. It's placement
should not interfere with any
existing truck components. The
handle should be a comfortable
distance from the ground (typically
about 48" high) so that repeated
ergonomics is easy to use and safe.
The Perkins hand valve assembly
comes with a mounting bracket
which may be welded directly to the
side of the truck. Typically, the
hand valve's handle will point to the
back of the truck and the ports A &
B which feed the lifter will be
pointing to the ground.
This position should allow the
operator holding the handle to still
be within arm's reach of the cart
that is being lifted. This keeps the
steps back and forth to a minimum
for best efficiency.
Tack-weld the valve bracket in place
temporarily until all the hoses have
been routed.

Note the hoses feeding the lifter are pointing straight down. The hoses
leading back to the pressure supply and tank and pointing towards the
front of the truck and all hoses are neatly routed for a clean look and
best hose protection.
