- Route the drive belt over tension pulley.
- Slowly release the tension on the tensioner arm.
- Inspect for proper drive belt installation.
- Avoid mis-positioning the drive belt by
one or more grooves.
- Confirm the proper drive belt size and the
correct drive belt routing by observing the location of the pointer and index marks
