The motor has three leadsBrn, Blk, Green. Using a remote switch to run them using relays. I have relays set up, one up and one down (relays) instead of the double pole center off switch. I have a sp momentary contact switch for each relay. With the start and run relay I am having a problem figuring out the capacitor connection at the relay. The switch is a center off two pole and the one conductor connects to three of the 6 switch poles. I am trying to apply that at the relay level.

There are three motor leads
1) green which is tied to a capacitor
2) black which is the neutral
3) Brown which tied to a capacitor threw the switch (at the switch this wire jumpes to three poles) this is the part I need to duplicate at the relays.

Can anyone help? I know I can do this but I have to admit I can't seem to wrap my head around it.
