Any ideas how to wire this thing?

My dad bought a lifeguard seahorse pump for his pond from Foster and Smith. I'm trying to figure out how to wire it for him.
I attached 2 photos, 1 is the pump itself, the other is the back where the wires get hooked up. Any ideas?

Typically there is a wiring diagram on the motor specifying which is L&N you also need to ensure its properly bonded and grounded per the manual..

Take a pic of the motor nameplate/label please

It's the two studs on the right side there, one will be the hot and the other the neutral.

I thought that part was clear... but I assumed and we know about assuming...
I thought they may need more guiding but the manual covers the specifics about wire size stipulations,etc...

Doesn't matter which is which.
