A pair of idler pulleys mounted on one or more supports secured to the housing aligned a single endless belt with the vertical pulley on the impeller drive shaft and change the orientation of the belt from horizontal to vertical and back to horizontal as the belt travels around the pulleys mounted on the impeller and blade shafts.
