I've never seen one like that before, but one should be the Power Take Off and the other the Release Lever. I'm going to say that the PTO one is the one in the cab. I believe I would pull the Outside lever first, then with the trans in neutral, the engine running and the clutch in, pull the PTO lever up. You may hear it grind a little pretty much like you are putting a trans in first gear. Then release the clutch. The bed should go up. Once it is all the way up, push the PTO lever back down. Then to get the bed back down, slowly push down on the Outside lever.

Let us know how it works out.

As for the pictures, I'm not very good at it myself.
