Hello everyone. Today I picked up my new to me M149a2. I am usually familiar with how they operate.
However, mine has a manifold valve in a design I’ve not come across before. It does not want to turn either direction or pull out or push in. The top and bottom caps open to drain and vent.
But, I cannot get the square handle on the very front to do anything and I don’t want to break it. If anyone could explain to me how it functions I’d appreciate it.
The TMs I’ve found only show the T handle style.
