The idlers are actually pu****ng down on the belt a bit. They are close
enough to the lift idlers that the flat part of the belt (back) is riding
on
the flat pulley. There is enough down pressure to hold the belt on the
pulleys and hopefully keep the belt from jumping off. But I want to put
on
a belt keeper to be sure. It's raining here this weekend so I am not able
to paint...but I am ready for paint which is huge!
