Answer 2

A mercontrol single lever control unit is one of the most complex in the industry. It is made of durable material, custom wireing, and of course, most importantly, the rigid metalic lever. To activate the unit turn it on with the integrated toggle switch, and move the lever to the right, or was it to the left, I think it was the right. Caution: the unit may overheat after just one hour of operation. To remedy the situation submerge the entire contraption in water, or hydrocloric acid (which ever is easiest to obtain). If hydrocloric acid is used be careful not to get any on your skin. After submersion the unit will work like a dream.
