It's quite easy. Take out theplug you have marked "1" and screw in a 1/2" pipe connection of some sort. when you use it, pull out the knob you have marked 2 activate the external service and use it by operating the main handle.

Hi,

another question, because the picture shows it very good: How is the valve (Nr. 2 in the photo above) dismantled, which switches between 3pt linkage and the external pipe? It looks similar to that on my super major, but mine does not move.
Can I turn the big round cover?

To my surprise the the aux knob works good. I expected it to be froze being that the knob is missing. I just put a washer and nut on the threads to make it easier to pull. Can anyone tell me how to check the hydraulic fluid level?
