A snub idler may be engaged with the return portion of the belt so that the belt properly engages the drive sprocket. A motor couples with the drive sprocket, the motor being capable of driving the belt in forward and reverse directions. A take-up device engages with the return portion of the belt so that the belt is capable of running in forward and reverse directions.
