Need help with Ashland motor and capacitor

Regarding the motor spec'd below, I need help wiring the motor and capacitor to get the unit up and running.

The motor is:
Ashland Hyst Synchronous Motor
60 hz
1/40 hp
uf 3.0
phase 1
115 volts
rpm 1200

I purchased a 3uF capacitor (370VAC), with the understanding that the cap was needed to start the motor.

So, how should wiring go? The motor has a black, green and combined blue/red wire. The cap has 2 terminals.

Any insight would be appreciated.
