Just use two of the legs. You don't have to use all three legs and it shouldn't matter which two legs you use. I know that there are 2 types of 3 phase windings and one is a little strang but I don't think that one is used much any longer and please , anyone, correct me if I am wrong!!! just be sure to use the correct breaker when you wire it. SAFETY first and fore most.............
