It's the retaining pin for the receiver cover.
There is another lever near the rear sight block. That will release the gas tube and op-rod.
Forget the manual (I've never found a decent one or needed one). Go watch some youtube vids on disassembly before taking it apart.

What nationality is your SKS? Got any pics?
It's a YUGO.
I like it fine but for the mis-matched Stock.
