An appropriate question would be - what do the various manufacturers say to do?
The following are manufacturers instructions for some of the WDHs out there, and in similar wording, they all say to use the lift bar/handle and to release (not remove) tension on the spring bars using the tongue jack.

CAUTION:
WARNING:
When lifting/lowering Snap
-
Up Bracket, Avoid putting any part of your body in the path of the lifting handle and under the cam arm and spring bars. Components of this system are loaded with substantial force and could shift position or drop suddenly causing serious injury or death.
Never Raise or Lower Snap-Up Brackets without raising the trailer tongue jack to remove the load from the spring bars and cam arms. Failure to do so could cause serious injury.

Well Larry, here's what I'll do.. I'll give you a video link on how to hook one up from Eaz Lift hitches the right way with a bar, you post a video from any reputable WD hitch company that shows hooking up without the bar, with hands only!

It's just to easy to do it the way it was designed!
yep, and I confess I did exaggerate the 5 minutes of cranking. How about instead of a one second flip up with the bar, about 50 turns of the crank on the jack. and I don't need to spend a couple of hundred $$$ to buy an electric jack.

I thought you had a MH? so why would you be concerned about tongue jacks anyway:h
