Hello everyone, I really need your help.

I got a free fan AC motor from friend who is going overseas.
This motor is used for the standing fan.
Now I am having problem that I am totally clueless of the wiring of this motor and the specification of other components to be connected with this motor.

Here I attach two pictures. One is the cables photo, the other is the capacitor component label.

Would anyone please enlighten me? Thank you so much.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Not a clue. Since you didn't specify where in the world you are, then we don't even know if you expect it to work on 120V or 240V?
 
Fans usually have 3 speeds so theres probably a common and the other 3 different speed windings.
Induction motors have 2 windings for single phase a start and a run, mains usually goes accross the run and to the start via the capacitor.

Theres a possibility with this motor that the capacitor is not a 'start' capacitor, it could just be a filter, little motors like this tend to be shaded pole which dont need them.
