Or can you point me to a forum that might be able to help.

This is a _guess_ -- you really need the datasheet for it...
Assuming the 6 terminals are each ends of 3 windings, it looks to me like it's already connected in Star (Wye) mode, which is 240V.
In Delta mode (440V), it would be more powerful, but it would run at the same speed (assuming it's not currently overloaded). It would probably need a star/delta starter so it starts in star mode and switches to delta mode when it's picked up some speed.
They *should* have made the links suitable lengths so that it isn't possible to use them incorrectly.
Hence the long link looks as if it is slotted to suit joining 1 to 6. The other links clearly won't allow 2 to go to 4.
So, I would deduce that the alternate wiring is to link 2-3, 1-6 and
5-4. With the windings between 1-2, 6-4 and 3-5.You would want to swing them out to check!

And you need a clue.
No, 440v is star. In star, the phase-phase voltage is across two windings, not one.
Delta mode is 240v, and the power would be about the same at the lower voltage.
Good grief...
