Mel, L1 (hot) goes to one of the speeds, Neutral goes to Yellow ...yellow is not a speed tap....unless you have a white wire coming out of the motor too, then possibly. The 2 brown wires go to either side of the capacitor.Youll need flag terminal ends to attach the wires to the capacitor. On the 2 unused speeds...cap or tape them off seperately (not together!!!)If you want to be able to switch speeds, then you'll need a 3 position switch. In which case...the L1 now goes to the common of the switch, then red goes to one (low), blue goes to 2(med), black goes to 3(hi) on the switch. Only one speed is being served by the hot (L1) at a time

BTW. make sure the capacitor terminals are not touching anything when finished and it is secured...
