Status: offline 		Joe,
I'm neither a driver or crew chief, but I have a North American F-107 flight manual that has the same Emergency Speed Brake Dump lever. In the manual, it states, sliding the lever to the dump position (forward in the F-107) dumps hydraulic pressure from the actuating cylinders, allowing the airloads to trail the door (closed position).

Moving the lever aft restores the speed brake operation, to extend-door/off/retract-door operation, using a 3 position speed brake switch, located on the throttle quadrant.

The speedbrakes are in different locations on these aircraft, but both aircraft were built by the same company in roughly the same timeframe. So I would doubt it actually blows the speedbrake panel off the aircraft.

I believe that North American Rockwell was purchased by Boeing.
