Whole house attic fan motor has three speeds L/M/H but my wall switch only has low /off/high...
So to wire the fan to the switch what do I do with the speed wires?
Put all three on hot?

You need to get a 3 speed switch, probably a heavy duty rotary, do not use a regular dimmer switch, or only hook up 2 speeds.
