Ray, reference page three of the schematic:

1) You should have your LINE from the the AC (black) go to a fuse, then to pin 1 on the switch.

2) Pin 2 goes to one of the black wires on your power transformer.

3) Your NEUTRAL (white) and the other unused black wire from your power transformer get tied together. They can be crimped together with a quick connect and then plugged onto pin 3 of your ON/OFF switch.

So pin 3 ends up being two things: the NEUTRAL connection to the power transformer as well as the (minuscule) power for the neon light.
