How to wire up a single-phase electric blower motor
Pictures should help:



As @Asmyldof stated, the motor has no concept of hot or neutral, so the polarity of the AC connections is not important. Connect one of them to hot, and one of them to neutral. The motor will turn the same direction even if you reverse these connections. To reverse the motor, you have to remove the metal jumpers, and reposition them as indicated by the diagram.

Note that you absolutely should ground the motor housing, but this is a protective measure (the yellow/green-stripe wire is the earth/ground connection), but ground is not neutral.
