Can a power top be raised manually?

I would guess you are gonna need about 3 guys, or else some form of straps tied to the garage joists
I believe you want to find the cotter pins at the top of each of the rams as shown in the attached picture. BTW, the top is heavy.

Steve, thanks so much for that pic. The only difference I see is that my ram is completely vertical, and the top is hidden behind that channel. Just knowing there's a cotter pin in there helps. Maybe I can get a cotter pin removal hook type tool in there. I may also try hooking up a 12 volt source to the motor as suggested below. Nothing to lose really with trying that. I sincerely appreciate everyone's input.
