Swivl-Eze pedestal question

I also posted in the boat groups.
I bought a Swivl-eze power seat pedestal. When I took it out of the package
the pedestal raised up several inches now I can't get it to collapse. Am I
suppose to do something besides pulling the handle up to get it to collapse?
No directions came with the pedestal and the Swivl-eze homepage was of
little use. Please give me any advice on how to get this to collapse. I
don't want to have to send it back to Bass Pro without getting some help.
