When the gear is selected up then Hyd pressure is diverted one side of the actuator to position the truck to -5°. If the gear is selected down then pressure goes to both sides of the actuator to position it to +13° (due to differential areas). This pressure stays there and the truck simply moves to desired position when weight is removed on takeoff.

Hope thats clear.
