The Red and White/Red wires on one coil and the Green and White/Green wires on the other coil are used with Bipolar Series wiring. Either the Red and Black or the Black and White/Red wires on one coil and either the Green and White or the White and White/Green wires on the other coil are used when the motor is wired half-coil. Because the motor only has six leads, it cannot be wired Bipolar Parallel. Bipolar Parallel wiring requires eight lead motors.
