2 AP Dragster Launcher User Guide 59893 V0810
Materials Included
• AP Dragster Launcher • Tension spring
• Finish plate • 2 paper clips
• String • 2 brass replacement tubes
Items Required (not included)
• Air pump • Safety glasses
• Scissors • Heavy items such as books (optional)
• Tape measure • AP dragsters to race
• Masking tape (optional) • Glue (optional)
Assembling the Spring Tensioner
1) Cut two pieces of string eight to 10 inches long. Tie one
string firmly to one end of the spring. Tie the other end of
the string firmly to the paperclip as shown (a dab of glue
can help hold the knots more securely). Slightly bend out
the end of the paper clip (Figure 1).
2) Repeat Step 1 on the other side of the spring.
3) Place the spring in the middle of
the double posts on the finish
plate. Thread one paper clip
through a double post on one side
(Figure 2). Do the same on the
other side with the other paper
clip.
The finish plate is ready to be used.
Setting up the Track
1) Find a level surface. Smooth tile,
linoleum, or a gym floor are ideal
for the track – the dragsters will
not run as well on carpet.
2) Place the AP Dragster Launcher where you want the start of the race to be. The brass tubes should be
pointing down the race track. Measure the length of track you want – it should be between 20 and 40
feet long (40 is preferred; the shorter the distance, the more you will need to reduce the suggested air
pressure). You can mark the track finish line with masking tape.
3) At the finish line, place the finish plate with the post side closer to the track (Figure 3 on the next page).
