I might attach a rope to the two lever arms at the appropriate spot so they could be pulled equally in a one-man operation.
Great idea! A length of rope with an S-hook at each end! Drop the S-hook onto the the appropriate spot on each side - maybe on the side U-bolts - then drop the middle of the loop over your butt, and simply lean into the loop.

Thanks for the idea!
