Emergency Start for Alde

While browsing the Alde manual, I came across this procedure to bypass the control panel in an emergency to turn on heat at furnace without thermostat control.
It specifically references a jumper to do this.
Im a rookie, other than my personal experience with the Alde, which I am very pleased with. Trying to learn as much as I can about it.

Anyone have one of these parts?
Have you ever tried this procedure?
Could you fabricate a DIY one?

    Years ago computer hard drives had jumpers - you had to jump differently for different makes of hard drives for different computers or if it was the startup drive vs a backup, etc. so I imagine it's similar.

    You could make a jumper if you could get a connector that matched up. You just put a piece of electrical wire in the right slots - jump those two like the diagram shows. You could probably just stick wire in but the plug keeps it together.

    While troubleshooting what turned out to be a thermostat problem, Ed K instructed us to use an electrical wire to connect the appropriate slots just as PXLated suggested. It worked well!
