question to the smart folks. if belt is lose, can belt slapping happen on either side of the belt? i ask because the belt side that is slapping should be in tension based upon the direction of rotation of the motor pulley. intuitively i thought that slapping would be more likely on the slack (compression) side.

?The drive belt on my AD 741 seems very loose when running.? Also it appears to me more noisy than it should be.? I have only had the machine for a short time and am not sure what is "normal". I have tightened the belt as much as I can and the belt does have the proper 1/4 inch deflection. Please see the video I made? and see the vibration on the left side of the belt.? Any comments would be appreciated if any has had the same? problem.? Thank, gary
