I’m trying to wire up a new motor for a bi-fold shop door. The motor is a Dayton 30PT40 single phase, dual voltage, and reversible motor. I am using a Dayton drum switch as well. The issue I am having is where to connect the wires onto the motor that come from the middle 2 pins of the switch.
Here’s the pic of a diagram I found online for what seems to be the same situation, with the same configuration drum switch as mine:

And here is a picture of my motors diagram:

As the first picture states, the middle two pins on the switch get connected to the red and black wires in the motor. However, there is no black wire on the motor, and the red wire, in low voltage configuration, is connected to a single pin point that I would have to make a “custom” connection at. The other wires are hooked up and ready to go. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
