Adding a 2nd remote start switch to a generator

Is it possible to have two remote start buttons on a Cummings Onan QG4000? My remote start switch is located in the center of the coach, just a terrible spot for it. I want to add a switch to the dash...

If the second remote switch is wired correctly the hour meter on the original remote panel will still log hours even though you started the genset from the second switch.

Likewise, you can start it from one & stop from the other and vice versa.

The two switches are in parallel and the genset & hour meter don't know or care which one completes the circuit.
