Figure out what moves what.

Throw the levers until every bolt is released. Linkages move one step; at a hard stop the collar slips, so order matters.

How the mechanism behaves

Each lever moves every connected linkage by one step. The small collars in the linkages are slip joints: when a bolt is already against a physical stop, excess travel slips instead of being stored. Reversing the lever later moves from the bolt's current position, which is why the same two operations can behave differently in a different order.
