Hand pumping
Oh, and Kevin... as to why hand-pumping the gear doors back up, first it gives you a chance to hear what's going on, throws fluid through the hand pump and lubes the seals, second it reduces one-cycle on the powerpack from wear & tear (like motor brushes), and thirdly it saves the ship's battery.
Those of us who aren't blessed with two hydraulic pumps have to take care of the only ONE we have... sort of like taking care of your heart!
