Noob Question on a 70's Model Tire-Jack?

I own a 1978 Ford LTD II, had a blow out. I used the factory Jack to lift the car up and installed the new tire.



The Jack has a small base in which you insert a long iron piece which in turn has a hook which can be lifted and lowered to change the cars height (I can explain further if needed).



To raise the car you turn this switch which %26quot;Locks%26quot; the hook into place. My Question is:



How do I now lower the car back down to the ground?? I can't figure out how to depress the Jack.Noob Question on a 70's Model Tire-Jack?flip the switch back the other way and jack the car back down.Noob Question on a 70's Model Tire-Jack?flip the switch the other way.sometimes you will need to put pressure on the jack handle lifting the jack up on the pole before you can move the switch.after switching jack the car back down
