With any control surface that is hydraulically actuated (it does not matter what the signalling system is) then with the aircraft servicable but shut down one would not expect to be able to manually adjust the control surface position (try it for yourself!) as the fluid provides a 'hydaulic lock'. With no fluid this lock would not be present.
