The Rapson Rapid Jack is the finest car-raising device in the world, and merits decent treatment. It is beautifully made and worthy of a few moments study. It will give great satisfaction in the hands of every intelligent user. But it is possible to break even the best appliance, and this is why these instructions are sent to you. Please don't start operations until the Jack is completely closed, as shown on page three of the accompanying booklet. Then take hold of the Head and draw the ratchet shaft out to the desired height, so that the Jack will just push under the axle. Never start to raise the car until the maximum ratchet extension has been given. The whole of the 4 ins. "lift" of the steel operating shaft should if possible be reserved until the handle is brought into use for the actual raising of the car.
