How is the gear held up? PA28-201R series

Hi!

I've been asked this question, and I don't find the reply on the manuals (maybe it's on the schematics and I don't see it).
I'm not sure if it's a latch that holds it up, or it's hydraulic pressure.

Another fellow instructor told me that it's held up by hyd press, and in the event of loosing hyd press the gear comes down, but... so far I couldn't find this in manuals, and it's just his word.
At least I'd like to hear more opinions.

Your help is appreciated!

Kind regards / Pablo
