It's not the head height adjustment, is it? On our Mutoh it's an orange lever, so I'm not sure if it's the same on all models.

It's the self destruct lever. I would suggest not pulling it unless you have an escape pod. XD

That's my guess, too. It was orange on the last Mutoh I ran, but that was a 1624.

Technically speaking, that is called the head adjusting cam lever. Move up or down to adjust head slant. To know if your head needs adjustment and how to adjust it, you need to start the system in self-diagnosis function mode and print the adjustment patterns in "Head Slant Check Menu 1". For more info and pics look in the Maintenance Manual page 7-35.
