Contact them directly. I am sure they can send you the electrical schematics for the motor and cap wiring.
Blue as a color could be random or it might be a European wiring designation. You see blue and brown commonly with Euro spec wiring.
If the blue and red wires are siamesed, I suspect these are for the line input. They would go to the right side of the motor run or start cap. The left wire would feed the motor. Now is the green or the black the ground wire or the wire feeding the cap signal to the motor? This is the tricky part.
On my US Rek O Kut Ashland motors they have 4 wires coming out. One is white and orange, another is white and black and the other two are white and green.
On my B12H the cap is elliptical and I will base this information on the writing on the cap.
The left side of the cap is attached to the white/orange which feeds the motor. The right side connects to the line and the two white with green wires. The white with black goes to the neutral.
I hope this helps, but Ashland should come through for you.
One last thing, the uf of the cap is probably based on the frequency and voltage of the AC. Your 3 uf cap might be for 50 hz 240 volts. If so you might need to drop to a 2 uf cap. Ashland's technical folks can probably advise you on this as well.
Good luck with the motor!
