You have the fine feed working right, engaged by the right lever.
I think the lever on the left is to engage the power downfeed, and it should lock by some kind of ball-and-spring probably in either the in or out position.
The reason your quill drops is because I reckon the quill return spring has broken or become disengaged. It's possible someone had had it apart and left bits out or put it together wrong.
