Greg- are you familiar with the belt drive systems on snowmobiles or the variable-speed belt drive on Polaris ATV's? They operate similarly.
Hold your hands out in front of you in a "V" position with your fingers pointing up. Imagine that's the pulley, and the belt, which is a fixed width, is between them and towards the bottom of the "V". Move your hands closer together and you'll notice that if there was a belt there it'd have to move upwards(tighten) as the "V" gets narrower.
The alignment of the pulleys doesn't change enough to hurt anything since the rear of the pulley doesn't move. And it's not like these things are turning 6000 RPM anyway, so some misalignment can be tolerated.
