Do this on my HG-70 HD from time to time when I need to jerk the rotator
out. Easier to jack up the inner section enough to pull the rotator, twice
blocking the section for safety.

If you don't have positive pull down, you should be able to just slide the
top section
out and let the cable go slack. Has anyone done this?

wouldnt be assisting me ? i was hoping to do the rotor work etc... at
ground
level but unless i can retract it , i dont see how I can.
Thanks
