I am trying my first 'electronics' project, involving setting up a pond aerator pump. I purchased a Gast air pump, 86R123-101-N170X. However, it came just as it was assembled at the factory and does not contain a conventional 3-prong plug. I would like to add a plug to the exposed wires.

This [document](http://gastmfg.com/uploads/data-sheets/RTD882A_RevD.pdf) shows how it should be wired. I have the 115V unit.

I understand that the brown and yellow wires go to the capacitor.

* Is the white wire considered my positive (+) wire where current flows
in?
* Is the joined blue and black wires considered my negative (-)
wire where current flows out? The blue and black wires already come
twisted together at their tips.
* Do I simply ignore the orange and red wires? They too are already twisted together at this tips. Do I just put a cap on the twisted end?
