If you are concerned about someone messing with the lever, it is easily removed. Its only purpose is to disengage the gear motor if you need to wind the jacks by hand - again a rare event, and you can wind the jacks by hand back driving the gear motor without much additional effort in the event you ever need to.
On the 4600 model jacks, releasing the lever allows you to push the jacks down by stepping on the foot rather than using the slow, noisy motors. I use the levers every time I lower them.
Funny every one says this but mine will not go down even if I stand on them.
Yours are probably in need of a rebuild/regrease. One of mine will not move without jumping on it (7 years old). The other 3 were rebuilt by Happijac 5 years ago when they warrantied the paint. I plan to take that one apart.
