- Page 10 * The mounting plate may be positioned as low as 39 ½” and as high as 42”, as needed. The mounting plate itself should be vertical and level. All carts should be checked for good engagement before welding the plate fully. Perkins Manufacturing Company 800-882-5292 Revised: 2/25/21...
- Page 11 Dimensions shown above are an example only and will vary from truck to truck Perkins recommends adding steel structural tube across the entire length of the load sill. This tube becomes the new load sill.
- Page 12 Double check the tooth height to the ground. If everything appears satisfactory, the lifter’s mounting plate and supports may be welded fully. The mechanical portion of the installation is complete. Perkins Manufacturing Company 800-882-5292 Revised: 2/25/21...

- Page 15 Customized pieces of steel are used thoughtout this step and are not provided by Perkins. Prior to fully welding, make sure a commerical container will properly lock up to the container locks in their new position.
- Page 16 Note the Bumper Extension fully protects the cart lifter from contact with the commercial container. The elephant ears and container locks have been shifted back and material added. The reverse lights have been relocated in this installation so they would not be obscured by the lifter placement. Perkins Manufacturing Company 800-882-5292 Revised: 2/25/21...
- Page 17 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 D6510 requires 1550 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 (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...
- Page 19 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 20 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 21 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.
- Page 22 Adjusting the Perkins Hydraulics Adjusting the Speed Single Diverter: D63237s Double Diverter: D63411s This valve’s adjustment controls the flow going to the lifter. The flow controls the speed of the lifter. A typical lifter requires 3.5 gpm to achieve a 6-8 second cycle time.
- Page 23 Note the pressure on the gauge and adjust the screw accordingly. When the pressure is correct, retighten the locking nut. Note: The setting for the D6510-27k is approximately 1650 psi to lift 400 lbs. Replacement Parts: D63127 – Seal Kit D63192 –...

Perkins Manufacturing Company 800-882-5292 Revised: 2/25/21... - Page 31 On new installations, this is the result of having the pressure and tank lines reversed. Check and make sure that the pressure line goes to the “IN” port and the tank line goes to the “OUT” port. Perkins Manufacturing Company 800-882-5292...
