Narrative:

After departure from ZZZ1 airport runway xx; I cycled the landing gear switch to 'up' and received an 'unsafe/unlocked' indication on the right landing gear. We leveled out at 2000 ft MSL and proceeded to cycle the gear switch 2 times as directed by the QRH with no positive results. We accepted a climb to 8000 ft MSL. During the climb; we asked and received a diversion to ZZZ airport and leveled out at 5000 ft. At this time we executed the manufacturer's approved procedure as outlined in the QRH for a manual landing gear extension. The gear dropped and a green 'down and locked' indication was obtained. We tested it by reducing the thrust levers to check the warning system with positive results. We were then descended to 000 ft MSL and vectored for the ILS xy approach to ZZZ. We decided to opt for a circle to runway yy considering the wind direction (200 degrees at 14 KTS); it was favorable for the situation (left crosswind) which would keep the weight off of the right landing gear truck. We landed uneventfully and rolled to the end of the 5000 ft runway with no incident. The crash fire rescue equipment were alerted and waiting for us.
