Its not that hard, you need to access under the splitter, you will notice what happens when the pedal is operated and levers pulled. you need to make sure the same happens when just operating the pedal. it involes bolting some sheet metal to the metal pedal mechanism so that it activates the balance switch upon operation also using some threaded bar to trap something into position. I will try and post some pics next time i go to the lock up with someone to help me tip it over. Be aware that It disables the saftey feature of the system leader so get hands well out the way but for me a different splitter without the arms and leavers, so quick!

I have the thor mignon recommended by a fellow arborist who has had his for 20 years, he has recently sold his and bought another they are a work horse. In terms of speed he showed me how to remove the handles with the brake levers to allow it to soley operate on pedal alone (hot wiring ?)this well over doubles the speed of operation as for power there has never been anything it hasnt split and it has seen big wood of all types.
