The 2 brown wires might be for a capacitor....

Some motors require a start/run capacitor, and the 2 brown wires might connect to a capacitor. Does the motor have a manufacturer's name and/or model number? If it does, you might be able to search the internet for a wiring diagram for it.....Good luck!!!
