I am with Stan on this one... anything that is manual activation in my car is PULL...
Not push...

Also in ORDER...

Front pull is for engine fire system = front of car
Middle pull is for cabin fire system = middle of car
Back Pull is Chute release = in back of car..

my mind is simple and so is the layout in my car ..

just my thoughts

Here is a pic of my old chute release lever.



My new chute is integrated with the clutch lever, pull the chute and it disengages (and locks open) the clutch.
