SAFETY and GENERAL INFORMATION
Save these instructions. For your safety read, understand, and follow the information provided with and on this

stands and safe operating procedures before attempting to use. The owner and operator shall be aware that use of
this product may require special skills and knowledge. Instructions and safety information shall be conveyed in the

upon it), immediately discontinue use until the stand has been checked by a factory authorized service center (contact
distributor or manufacturer for list of Authorized Service Centers). It is recommended that an annual inspection be
done by qualied personnel. Labels and owner’s manuals are available from manufacturer.

PREPARATION
Assembly (refer Fig. 1 & 2)
1. Make sure all parts are present. If any part is missing
or damaged, do not attempt to assemble, install or
operate the product. Contact Customer service.
2. Install ratchet bar into base frame with ratchet portion
of bar aligned with locking pawl.
3. Move the ratchet bar to its lowest position by raising
the locking handle, thereby releasing the stopper and
guiding the bar downward.

a) For BH5030B & BH5060B:
(Tools required: Hammer and Punch)
Press the press tab inward using a suitable
hammer and punch.
b) For BH5120B:
(Tools required: 12mm Wrench)

Before Use
1. Verify that the product and the application are
compatible, if in doubt call Blackhawk Automotive
Tech. Service [phone].
2. Inspect stands before each use. Do not use if there are
bent, broken or cracked components noted (including
labels). Ensure that all parts move freely.
3. Read the operator's manual completely and
familiarize yourself thoroughly with the product and
the hazards associated with its improper use before
using this product.
4. Always refer to the vehicle owners or service manual
for location of proper lift and support points.
OPERATION
Use only on areas of the vehicle as specied
by the vehicle manufacturer. Use ONLY on
vehicles whose support points are compatible with
the saddle of the jack stand. Incompatibility may result
in structural damage to the vehicle and/or jack stand.
Structural damage to either may result in sudden and
unexpected loss of load height!
Only attachments and/or adapters supplied
by the manufacturer shall be used.
1. Adjust height by pulling up on ratchet bar.
2. The weight of locking handle should secure the
ratchet bar in desired position. To conrm this,
simply push down on the locking handle. Ensure
ratchet is secure before loading.
3. Carefully position jack stands so that load is centered
on stand’s saddle.
4. Slowly lower the vehicle onto the stands.
5. Check to ensure vehicle is secure before working on,
around or under. Use wheel chocks on all unlifted
wheels in both directions to prevent inadvertent
movement.
To lower load
Be sure that all tools and personnel are clear
before lowering load.
1. With suitable jack, raise vehicle clear of stands.
2. Carefully release stopper and allow ratchet to glide
down to lowest position.
3. Carefully remove stands, then carefully lower
vehicle with lift device.

Periodically inspect each stand. Ensure all parts move
freely. Do not apply oil or grease to any portion of this
