[QUOTE="cfpinz, post: 1749178, member: 2383"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Chute_LI (2).jpg"]17176[/ATTACH] The squeeze is operated by pulling down on the lever extending to the top right at a 45 degree angle circled in red, it looks to be in the squeeze position now by the looks of the position of the locking mechanism (circled in blue).
