Do you store a floor jack with the valve open or closed?

2020 Honda Civic LX Sedan, 5000 miles, CVT

After I am done using the floor jack, do I store the floor jack with the handle turned all the way counter-clockwise with the valve open, or clockwise with the valve closed? The Harbor Freight manual doesn't specify. Thanks!

I leave the valve open but only because when I put the jack away I've invariably just let the car down. Otherwise I've never thought about it and doubt it makes any difference.

I've never given it a thought until now. I don't see why it would matter.

I do open. For one, that is how it is when I last use it. For another, I think of it like a torque wrench, just leave it open all the way for storage.

Thanks for all the responses! Good to know, I just wanted to make sure I was storing it properly and not hurting anything. Thanks y'all. 👍
