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 D6073CB requires 1650 psi to lift a 350 lb load. Place a pressure gauge at the lifter and run the actuator until it stops, continue activating the switch and note the pressure on the gauge.

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 15
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.

If the truck is equipped to dump commercial containers, the lifter must be stored all the way down prior to engaging the commercial container or the cart lifter may be crushed by the container. This damage is not covered by warranty. Perkins Manufacturing Company 800-882-5292 Revised: 12/2/21...

If you experience any difficulties with the cart type you have, please call Perkins at 800-882-5292 to discuss the problem and Perkins will advise the best solution to meet your needs.
Note the pressure gage and see that the pressure stays constant as the switch is held depressed. If the pressure falls, you may have internal leakage and the actuator should be repaired/rebuilt with new seals. Perkins Manufacturing Company 800-882-5292 Revised: 12/2/21...

On new installations, check the mounting height. It is common for brand new lifters to break lower bars if the lifter is installed too low. Remove the lifter and remount at the correct height. Perkins Manufacturing Company 800-882-5292 Revised: 12/2/21...

In this case, the lifter is most likely being operated too fast, or the carts are overweight. Excessively hard shaking of the carts by the operators can also lead to cart damage. Train your operators to operate the lifters properly. Perkins Manufacturing Company 800-882-5292 Revised: 12/2/21...
