We had the switch recessed in the top end of the collective.
Is the switch Fwd the "On" position? Push back for HYD CUT-OFF? If so I think it is a lttle back asswards. Reverse the switch and guard so you could just push it fwd with your thumb to activate Hyd Cut-Off while keeping your hand on the collective. That is grinding the coffee a little too fine however.

Had a couple of Hyd fails in the 350.. immediate action...shut off that darn horn so you could think! LOL

Also finding it strange folks saying the aircraft has unacceptable outo rotational characteristics ..we normally did full ons in yearly training. Zero speed touch downs were easy.
