Residential-Only Installation - Perkins D6500 Installation & Operational Manual

Do not mount the lifter to a refuse body which is not already mounted to a chassis. Chassis
heights can vary and this will affect the final installed height of the cart lifter.
Tack weld only until all positions and clearances are verified to work well for your application.
Always work on a smooth level surface with an empty truck.
A residential-only installation is when the cart lifter will be mounted to the truck and the truck
will not be used for collecting commercial containers (such as 1 thru 10 yard containers). A
residential-only installation is very straightforward and simple and very little customization
required. Therefore, a residential-only installation may take only 4-6 hours.
Mounting the SSP I – B (D6500) Cylinder Style Cart Lifter, Mark Your Centerlines
Begin by selecting whether the installation will be
centered on the truck, or offset, or a double
installation. Draw a centerline on the truck's
loading sill.
A centered installation will place the lifter directly
centered on the centerline of the truck.
An offset installation will place the lifter 17 ½" from
the center of the truck, (usually to the curb side) as
shown in the picture at right.
A double installation will place a lifter 17 ½" to the
left and 17 ½" to the right of the truck's centerline.
