I just picked up a new 3.7hp Kobalt air compressor from Lowes and it doesn't come with a cord. That's OK, but this motor has me confused on how to wire it.
It's a 230V single phase 15A motor. The wiring schematic shows line voltage going to #1 and #6 (see pic), but the connection inside the motor only has #2 to #6 posts (see other pic).
Where's #1? I also noticed nothing is on post #3.
