Umm, i'm not quite sure that I have EVER heard that phrase before

I would assume that it has to do with either being a "jerk" or in a more inappropriate sense "jerking off"

It might be that something is simply being jerked (yanked) in an upward direction. It would really depend on the context of the phrase, though. Could you share that with us?

Don't jerk the handle up like that! You'll break it!
Other than what @turtletato says, I can't think of anything sensible... タイプミス？
