A fan assembly has a propeller with a plurality of fan blades and a fan power system including a driven sheave on a fan shaft connected to a drive sheave with a drive belt. The propeller is mounted within a fan shroud having an inner surface facing the propeller such that a tip clearance is formed between outer tips of the fan blades and the inner surface. The fan shroud has a belt pocket located on a circumferential path of the propeller, the belt pocket extending away from the inner surface and having a pocket floor that is offset from the inner surface and sized to allow the drive belt to fit between the outer tip of one of the plurality of fan blades and the pocket floor.
