They're just side sliding levers for the TC and loader.  The drivers pulls down.  At least that's on the M1 and M1A1.

I, as an American Tanker, can confirm that this, tool, is the cock of choice.

Also we have LoJack.

See Robert Hunnicutt's book on the M-1 Abrams Tank.  His series of books on American Armoured Fighting Vehicles is definitive.
