Mine moves stiffly -- no chance of merely bumping it open.  They have a 
spring which tensions things... I think you should be able to see that 
spring on the bottom of the shaft.  If the spring is missing I can 
imagine it might work too easily or worse (leak).

Yes, yours is pointed correctly (off is the handle perpendicular to the 
block).
