It can be done but the wiring gets a little confusing. The hockey puck on the DCS cart is simply two micro switches. One allows activation of the solenoid when in forward or reverse. The other sends 36 volts on the orange wire whenever in the reverse position. This can be accomplished with a double pole double throw toggle, though I am told by some that it involves the incorporation of a diode in the mix somehow. I'll leave the details of that to somebody more electrically educated than myself.

If a SPDT switch is used, a diode is needed, but no diode is needed if a DPDT switch is used.

Here is a drawing for a DPDT/center off switch.

Plus a couple pictures of it installed.
