Electric motor to AC Power Plug?

Hi, I was wondering how to connect my FASCO model K628 motor to a AC power plug. It says: brn- commonblk-208v Red, Orn,Orn 230v Its my first time doing this, and I'm really confused Thanks!

Answer:

This is a single-phase motor for use on either 208 volts or 230 volts. You need either a 208 volt or a 230 volt source. For 208 volts, connect one hot wire to the brown motor lead and the other to the black motor lead. Tape the Red, Orn, Orn lead so that the bare end can's touch anything. For 230 volts, connect one hot wire to the brown motor lead and the other to the Red, Orn, Orn motor lead. Tape the black lead so that the bare end can's touch anything.
