well, place it in the scene. Add a sphere collider to it. In a script on the lever you can check for input in OnCollisionStay, if the staying object is the player. if you pressed a button, call SetBool or something like that on the Animator component to change its state.

That's a basic approach, but will work, but for it to be realised, I think you'll have to dig into scripting and the Unity docs yourself. Otherwise you'll just get this running and won't be able to get very far on your own.

Either create it with Unity's primitives, or use a 3D modelling tool like blender or 3DsMax to model it out.
