Default [EVDL] Help with controller wiring, please

Here's what I've got:

Motor ADC #FB1-4001 9.1" 72-144VDC 19.5HP

Controller Kelly KDH14500, 144v, 500 Amp

Throttle PB-6

Contactor Curtis CT-SW200CW-3

400 Amp Fuse

Fuse Holder for Class "T

Switch Power Cutoff - Heavy Duty 5000 Amp

I bought it all in a kit, and the kelly controller came with a wiring diagram, but for some reason I am having a real hard time wrapping my head around it. Is there anyone out there who has a very similiar setup who can post pics or (even better) a video on youtube showing me what the finished wiring should look like?
I know that your vehicle and mine are probably different and that will make the mounting locations and whatnot different, but the wiring (as in what goes from where to where) should be the same.
Like, for example, the motor has four studs coming off of it and two smaller red wires. Where do the red wires go? I can't seem to figure that out. Also, the contactor has two big studs and then four smaller tabs. What goes to those four tabs? I've stared at the wiring diagram for a long time and still am confused about those things.
One more thing- I'm not an EE, so please keep your explanations simple. I can get lost in electro-speak fairly easily.
Thanks,
Joel in Philly
