Start/Stop Harness to Generator Connections

I purchased a used camper set up with a Gen Prep that was never used I checked and it has everything Start/Stop switch, Harness, Transfer Switch, SafeGuard Overcurrent Protector etc.

I also purchased a used Onan 5500 Generator and am installing it in my camper but need help with the start stop wire connections to make sure they match up. If possible can someone take a look and see what wire contact changes I may need to make so that the existing harness fits the Onan Generator.

Have attempted to attach photos ???

Thank You

    Post Model Number and Spec Code. Somebody here can find you a Shop Manual with Wiring Diagram. I bought a used ONAN and needed the connector from coach wiring to generator's remote control connector. Local Cummins/ONAN distributor had it in stock, and that was for an older generator.
