I have read elsewhere
"A seperate safety valve is also incorporated. This shuts off hydraulic pressure to the actuators when the aircraft exceeds 260kt, and restores pressure only when the gear lever is selected down with the aircraft below 260kt."
This implies that the Gear will come down when "Selected", so if the lever is already down when reducing below 260kt does the lever need to be recycled for the system to detect a "selection"
