Which wires goes to which post ? Just bought an ao smith 3/4 hp booster motor for my polaris pool cleaner. It has two yellow wire posts. Which do I conect the black and white wires to?

It does not matter. Just make sure it is set to the correct voltage your system supplies to it and that you put pne wire on each terminal as the diagram on the side of the motor will show you.

Yes this is an old thread but info is still helpful to those that are searching. Here is one diagram from a 3/4 motor. Be aware that most residential high voltage are 240v. This will have the motor turning a bit faster.
Here's some more info diagrams for you http://www.electricmotorwarehouse.com/aosmith/AO_CONNECT.PDF L1 is one hot wire L2 is the other hot wire. L1 can not be connected to a L2 wire and L2 can not be connected to a L1. Ground only to ground.
if the cap is on top of the motor, one lead on each post. if it's the one in the back of the motor generally the two yellow wires go to one post and the red/whit one goes to the other post. .. now there are to posts on the cap each has 2 or 4 tabs on each (post)
that's easy ground goes on the top green screw at about 1 o'clock the others can be ether way see picture .. go to your local pool pump motor repair guy and ask

Please contact me thru our website at www.arrowmotor.net and be sure to include the info in this post as well as the serial number from the motor. I should have the part you need in stock.
Please use or contact page feature at www.arrowmotor.net and include your motor model and serial number. I can try to get you the connection diagram. If by chance you have the 2 yellow, one red wire combination, the two yellow go together on either set of posts and the red goes alone on the other set of posts. There is no polarity to a capacitor so it does not matter which set is which, just what wires you pair together.
The diagram on the side of the pump shows how it sould be wired for low volatge. I'm having a problem wiring for high volatge and posted the diagram. Use the link to access.
