For six poles on landing gear switch, I assume you are referring to a three switch assembly for passenger leg switch, dual switch, and driver leg switch. Unfortunately we don't have a schematic on your exact system, but typically on a 6 pole switch system, you have a power to the battery and a ground to the chassis. Then you have polarity for each motor. Positive polarity is normally red, and negative polarity is usually black or yellow depending on the manufacturer of the motor. We don't have a 3 switch assembly but carry the single switches like the Lippert Components Ignition Proof 5th Wheel RV Landing Gear Switch w/Harness # LC145236.

So for example, the Replacement Motor for Stromberg Carlson Electric Landing Gear, # LG-142178, has a black and a red wire. Depending on if it is on the driver leg or the passenger leg would determine which side of the switch you'd connect the red positive polarity wire and the black negative polarity wire to.
