wiring up a motor for a lathe/drum sander

[marknotts]

Sorry if this is the wrong forum but its for wiring up an induction motor so it could be for any tool, myself im building a combined wood lathe and drum sander

I opened the top to a 2hp single phase 4 pole induction motor to wire it up and didnt see the L N E i was expecting to see ;D , i'm hoping someone will be able to tell me which terminals to connect the live neutral and earth to please, it also appears to have 2 capacitors

Thanks and have a good friday I'm off to bed after a long shift and a 14h shift tonight :/

Is there a wiring diagram in the top of the lid?

Otherwise it looks as if live to u1 and w1 neutral to u2 and w2

Oh and earth to the terminal above u1 and w1
and make sure you use thick wire and have a 13 amp fuse in plug or use a dol starter ( pref)

Thanks flh, i dont remember seeing a diagram in the lid but ill have a look when i get back home tomorrow morning, the wire im going to use is 2.5mm 3core flex which is effectively a recycled 5 gang extension lead that has a smashed socket box, the box will be chopped off and thrown leaving me with the flex plug and the 13amp fuse
