That diagram is standard for a permanent split capacitor (PSC) motor. However, there are other types of motors.

Maybe this will help.

Add an overload protector to the common power lead (bottom right) and you've got it.

BTW, this is from my ACR Trouble Shooting book.

Sorry, the pic didn't copy very well. :(
