Bill,
 
While one could expect the gear to not come down, there are many imbalances while the gear is up - gravity and the nose gear gas spring come to mind - this should relieve the pressure as soon as the dump valve is selected.
 
On the other hand, the gear down and locked is in a very stable condition - so one should only need such a switch for gear retraction.

Angier,

I think that you'd need 2 push buttons, one for each pressure switch.
Wiring both pressure switches to one push button would be trying to run
the pump in both directions at once.

So, would not the simple solution be to wire both sides of each 
pressure switch to a momentary push button switch?
I have gages installed and so can observe the hi/lo pressures. A push 
of the momentary switch should start the pump.
