Default Wiring question: replacing 3Ph motor w/1ph

I recently acquired a Rockwell 46-525 wood lathe and am in the process
of replacing the 3 phase motor with a new single phase 1 Hp that will
for now will run on 110.
The original 3 phase motor was hooked up through a three phase motor
starter with slow start. I've posted a pic of the wiring diagram on
ABPW. My question is : Can I (or should I ) hook the new motor up
using this panel for the sake of the slow start or am I
misinterpreting what the slow start means. Any suggestions on how to
proceed would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Lenny
