New 1236 coolant pump wiring question

I'm setting up my new 1236 that arrived this week and have a question. My coolant pump wiring does not look like the diagram in the manual. The wire colors are different from that of the manual, and it has no wiring block. From the Manual's image, it is impossible to see which wire goes where (black blue and brown). My pump has black, blue, and an additional red. I really don't want to burn something up right off the bat.

Manual shows:

Then this is what I have(Extra Red wire in place of the Brown)

The wiring from the Lathe itself to power the pump is similar to the Manual(Black, Brown, and Yellow/Green (Ground)):

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

My guess is one power wire (either) goes to blue, and the other one goes to either the black/red or to the red/red. It's a capacitor run motor therefore it's capable of running either direction. If it runs but doesn't pump, you would have to swap the wire. (for example from black/red to red/red or vice-versa)
Green/yellow to ground screw of course.
Is the lathe going to run on 120 volts or 240? What voltage is the pump supposed to get?

the coolant pump is a 3phase motor with a capacitor between phases

you may need to adjust for polarity here.....
attach the brown wire from the picture 3 to the black and one capacitor lead, wire nut these 3 wires together.
attach the black wire in picture 3 with the blue wire in picture 2 and wire nut those together.
if the polarity is correct the pump will push fluid, if the polarity is reversed ,
you may need to reverse the Blue and Red motor connections in picture 2,
green to ground and all else being the same
 
Stock coolant pump is single phase 220V on the 1236, the motor end should have been pre-wired, and should have been connected to the coolant contactor terminals at the other end. Color code for wires, green/yellow is ground, brown is hot L1 and blue is 0V for 120V and would be L2 for 220V single phase US. If one end is not wired, then I would check with PM/QMT.

Your first guestimate on the polarity proved to be correct. Thanks for your input here, I greatly appreciate it.
