Cultural Tip
In French the choice of imperative form signals politeness. 'Soulève' (tu) is informal; in a professional setting you would more likely say 'Soulevez' (vous) to show respect. Also, French speakers often prefer the verb 'soulever' for lifting something that is attached or hanging, while 'lever' is used for more general raising actions.
