here's another picture of the wires... left is all brown wire... middle is green/black right is red/black hope that helps
This one is easy enough....
Go to the store and buy a 3-prong cord set, whatever footage you think you will need. Im not sure on the wattage of the motor in that unit, but to play it safe, make sure it is a heavy-duty one so it has the need throughput for the motor. While you are at the store, check out the irrigation department and grab some electrical sealing caps. The reason you want the sealing irrigation caps is because they prevent moisutre from entering the cap. The cap should have some kind of gray or green goo in it, colors vary, but it should have some goo in it. The goo is in electric conducting sealant. Make sure you buy ones big enough to fit the gauge of wiring in your cord, or else you will be returning to the store.
When you get home cut off the female end of the plug with some snips or wire-cutters, i call them snips. Take a straight blade, and very gently cut the exterior of cord and pull it back exposing the three wires inside, cut the part you pulled back off. Next, get some wire strippers, and take about 1" of the casing on each wire off. Now you are ready to start tying the wires together.
There should be a very obviously positive wire in the cord set, go ahead and combind your red/black wire to this wire, and throw one of those sealing caps on and twist it. Gently tug on both wires to make sure both wires have been securely sealed inside and that they have a good connection to the other. Then take your brown wire, which will be your negative lead, and combine it with the negative lead and do the same just as you did with the positive lead. Now the left over wire, the green one, is just a grounding wire, it serves no dramatic purpose. However, its better to just to go ahead and tie it in, just use the same method described above with the leftover wire. Lastly, go ahead bend the wires back so that they flush against the exterior of the cord and begin to wrap around with some electrical tape, or i prefer to use duct tape, it has better moisture resistency and lasts longer. Wrap it so the the tape goes up 1.5"-2" on both sides of the cord's exterior casing.
Plug it in and go!
Hope that helps m8!
Cheers!
