Abstract
An improved cooling arrangement for an electric motor in a pump assembly, including a resilient fan baffle having a planar main surface and a pair of wings extending perpendicularly out from the main surface to direct airflow away from the motor when the fan baffle is installed on the motor. A method of installing the fan baffle includes bending two ends of the periphery of the fan baffle to clear obstructions on the motor, and then releasing the ends to allow them to come together in a planar arrangement.
