Most remote switches simply send a ground to the appropriate wire to initiate start or stop. So a second switch can be wired in in parallel with the first one. The hour meter and light are sent a 12v signal when the generator is running, and have a ground at the switch panel. Generators have a separate connector that connects the the remote panel, your owners manual will have a pin-out / schematic of which pins are what. All that said, wire the second remote in parallel with the first. If you have trouble finding the pin-out / wiring connections let me know, I'll help (do a search for your manual if you don't have one, there's lots of .pdf manuals out there for the generators). The only BIG difference is gas generators and diesel generator remote connections are different, two pins swapped (B and F if I remember right). Hope this helps.
