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

Refer to "wiring3.jpg" posted on ABPW.

The transformer itself is on the upper left. The wire you
need to move is shown on the upper right. The "L"
connections to the plug are circled on the lower left.
The "T" connections are indicated, however you need to
determine which is 1, 2, & 3. Trace the black wires from the
top of the "L" block to the "?" symbols. "T1" is directly
below the "L1" wire connection. "T2" below "L2", etc.

Follow Carl's wiring suggestion for the "L" and "T"
connections.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Art,
According to the diagram on the cover T1 is to the left T2 in the
center and T3 on the right.
So I move the wire on the transformer from 200 to 115 as you marked.
That's the part I understand. I'm capable of following a diagram that
says take black wire from power cord and connect HERE. Connect White
wire from Power cord Here. Just so you know my limitations. =0 )
With that said ;

Does that mean my power cord coming in ? and is it white to L1 Black
to L2 ?
Carl also wrote: " Run the lead from the output of L2 up to the input
of L3"
Does the output refer to the black wire right above L2 and where is
the input of L3 , right under L3 where the original power cord is
attached now. If I picture it right it would just loop from the top
of L2 around and come up under L3 right beside the wires from the new
power cord. What is done with the existing wires that are coming out
of the top of L1 L2 and L3 now ?
Sorry to be so thick on this. If you loose patience with me I will
understand.

Thanks,
Lenny
