Hi guys!

Maybe this is already questioned but does anybody know why the nozzles are in the fully open position after shutdown?
I've seen a few pics when the Rapor is parked and everytime the nozzles are abnormally open.

I thought this would be because of the loss of hydraulic presure but the upper part goes up... Confused

Does someone know what causes this?
